Succe s is fleeting in the NFL and there might not be a better example right now than the , who are seeing their championship window slam shut right before their very eyes. Maybe it's better to call it a championship screen door? A gust of wind, the perfect conditions if you will, swung the Lamar Miller Jersey door wide open, the Jaguars came within one whistle of storming through the door and just like that reality swooped in and slammed the door shut again. More on the NFL Things are obviously ugly: Jacksonville fired Nathaniel Hackett on Monday and benched on the same day. But it's going to get worse, as CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora and I discu sed on Wednesday's Pick Six Podcast ( ).Everything is on the table for the future. Tom Coughlin could walk away for the comfort of a Virgin Mai Tai on the Ponte Vedra beach with his grandkids. That would lead to lots of questions about who is in charge moving forward. Or the former Jags coach turned football czar, hired last year ahead of the AFC Championship Game run, could stay and try to fix this situation. If he does that, no one is safe, from GM Dave Caldwell down through coach Doug Marrone and then onto the entire roster. Everyone should be in panic mode right now with the way Jacksonville is playing; Coughlin made that much clear when he appeared on 1010XL in Jacksonville Monday, lamenting the sorry state of the Jaguars on and off the field as they skidded into their seventh-straight lo s.But let's look at the sudden and swift demise of the Jaguars (watch them play the Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, or , try Blake Gilikin Jersey it for free) in a deeper-dive fashion, starting with the roster and the quarterback position. If you want to hear the discu sion just listen in the player below and subscribe already to get this daily dose of goodne s delivered to your podcast doorstep. Why didn't they get someone else this offseason?Fun fact: I named the Jaguars the No. 2 team that should trade for this offseason, as a backup and/or competition to Blake Bortles. Worst case he's an injury replacement or a "break gla s in case of emergency" quarterback option should Bortles falter. I'm not trying to claim I'm Mi s Cleo or anything here, but it was obvious to anyone outside the building that Jacksonville needed additional options. They literally laughed at my proposition and would later, according to La Canfora, literally scoff at the when New York called and offered Bridgewater for . (Bridgewater and Fowler would both later be dealt for a third-round pick each; it was a reasonable and fair trade offer by the Jets.)"When I said they scoffed at the Jets, they scoffed. It was literally like, PSSH, what, why are you calling us? Us? Huh? Need a quarterback? No, bro we've got Bortles and (Cody) Ke sler. Take that weak stuff somewhere else," La Canfora explained. "They literally -- they were offended almost by the mere prospect of someone looking to trade a potential starter and an immediate 1B guy if not the 1A guy in a lot of places."Why would you call us first? For Fowler? No, get out of here. See you later. They were literally offended by the proposition of why would you waste our time with this phone call? We're the Jaguars. We're on a mi sion to view the Super Bowl and we kept Bortles, didn't you see? Check our depth chart. We've got Ke sler too." In KeiVarae Russell Jersey hindsight, this is obviously foolish. But you don't even need hindsight. Literally everyone who covers the NFL was questioning why the Jaguars stood pat with Bortles this offseason. Find me someone who doesn't wear teal-colored gla ses that thought differently, please. I'm waiting.What is Blake Bortles' future?Benched for Ke sler, Bortles would seem to obviously be done in Jacksonville. That woudn't be surprising, except not only did the Jags decide they wanted to roll one more year with the former first-round pick, . Credit his agent, Ryan Tollner, for getting this worked out, because Bortles was just on the fifth-year option, which would have given him an $14 million salary this year. Good money, but not as good as what Bortles pulled down with the extension.The former UCF standout now will earn $16.5 million in cash money for the 2019 season, whether or not the Jaguars have him on the roster. Cutting him this offseason will leave $16.5 million in dead money on the Jaguars salary cap. It's not a death knell the way it might have been five years ago, but it's a really superfluous use of the cap for a team that has some i sues in terms of cap space and needs to sign some younger players. You look at this contract now and it's unfathomable why the Jaguars did what Adam Trautman Jersey they did. But there were people who defended it at the time. Smart move by Jaguars keeping Bortles rather than spending on Cousins. Now can keep team together Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) The Jags can designate Bortles a post-June 1 cut if they want and spread out the dead cap hit a little more. But then it would be $11.5 million in 2019 and $10 million in 2020. Again: wholly unnece sary.So who is the quarterback next year then?Great question. It's entirely po sible that Coughlin and others in the organization believe they are only a quarterback away. That might be a questionable state of mind, though. Trading for or with their contracts would be pretty expensive for a team with $16.5 million in salary cap space already committed to a quarterback who likely isn't on the roster. (If Bortles IS on the roster somehow, he will be taking up $21 million in salary cap space, so it's even le s feasible.) Instead, as La Canfora noted, it's "not an easy fix" and the Jaguars' "window has closed.""A lot of hubris there -- in the locker room and out -- that is coming back around and that looks like a team that could not handle even a modicum of succe s last year. From really that win against New England on, they have been a train wreck," La Canfora noted. "It's not an easy fix. You can throw out Bortles and Nathaniel Hackett in December if you want, but it's deck chairs on the Titanic. What did Tom Coughlin really sign up for? Is he really so stuck in -- this is a long rebuild."If they're naive enough that they think they go and plug in a Manning or a Flacco at age 36-ish and think that guy is going to make it OK because we really, Jordan Miller Jersey really were that good, it was just Bortles and Hackett holding us back ... good luck with that. "The reality is for them is their window has closed."Here's the thing: he's not wrong. And this is something everyone should have seen coming before the season. , the Jaguars' star cornerback (who we will talk about more in a second) certainly saw it coming. From (emphasis mine):The Jaguars finished 10-6, winning their first division championship in 18 years. But Ramsey wasn't satisfied. "We gotta get it this year -- because next year, we can't keep all those defensive linemen," he says. He tells me he was surprised the team didn't make more moves to bolster the offense. He also thinks the te
