Perfect example is the Redskins game. Was our offensive line ravaged? Yes, did we have very few skill positions? Yes (btw Westbrook is our best WR) , does slightly better QB play win that? Yes. The biggest issue that day was our lack of QB play. Same as it was almost every close game this year

So, you think if we'd had, say Aaron Rodgers, and all the injuries, we'd have done better than if we'd had Blake Bortles, and no injuries?   I respectfully disagree.   

I'm not saying we don't need to replace Bortles.   I'm saying Bortles was our second biggest problem.   Injuries were our biggest problem.

Without a shadow of a doubt. Not sure you realise how important QB is and how great the bump is from Blake Bortles and Kessler to Aaron Rodgers. As detailed above, we would have finished at very least .500 despite all the injuries. 

Remember , the vast majority of the roster were in serious regression before the major injury crises really hit. Marqise Lee , Cam and ASJ weren't turning the ship around in the first 9 weeks with Blake playing like that
