The draft and free-agency are officially over, and while Dave Caldwell didn’t address all the team’s needs, he put together a solid group of players that could leave fans pleasantly surprised. Now comes the waiting period before the season — and it could be a memorable one during which the team rids itself of the fallout of the last two seasons.

Like all teams, the Jags will need a little luck along the way, and they’ll need certain things to go their way in 2020 as they try and improve upon their six-win season. That said, here are five factors that could make or break them:

Gardner Minshew’s play

Quarterback play is the biggest factor in any football season, and the Jags will need Gardner Minshew II to pick up where he left off in 2019. He was able to impress last year by leading the Jags to all six of their wins and completing 60.6 percent of his passes for 3,271 yards, 21 touchdowns, and six interceptions.

With the Jags’ staff potentially in the hot seat, the team will need even more from Minshew in 2020. Another six-win season would have to have some repercussions, but more importantly, it would probably cost him his job past this season.

However, if he does improve, that would be huge for the Jags heading forward as they could add even more around him next season. With new coordinator Jay Gruden by his side, it appears he has a good chance of taking things to the next level as Gruden has worked well with young signal-callers.
