We faced the 2018 MVP Patrick Mahomes, Pro Bowl selections Tom Brady (Super Bowl winner) , Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson (twice), Andrew Luck (twice), and then guys like Ben Roethlisberger (who had his career best passing yards that season}, and Eli Manning who had a solid year.

We had 1 game where we played a back up QB and that was against Washington in week 15.

My apologies. I meant the 2017/2018 season when the Jags made the playoffs and made the AFC title game. They faced QBs like Tom Savage, Mariota, Flacco, McCown, Brissett, Dalton, Kizer, Gabbert, Yates, and Tyrod.

Flacco, Mariota, Dalton, and Tyrod were all multi year entrenched starters on their respective teams in 2017 so you can't call them back up QBs. They were the same guys everyone faced when playing those teams for years. I mean Dalton was coming off a pro bowl season and Mariota swept us and made it to the divisional round of the playoffs. We were also 4 point underdogs to the Flacco led ravens so that wasn't even considered a game we were supposed to win.

Gabbert beat us so I don't see how that fits in to the narrative of all the backups we took advantage of in 2018 either.

We beat some really good QBs that year, but half of our losses came from QBs you mentioned in regards to how we beat the teams we were supposed to beat that year.
