And of course we had plenty more waaaaaayyy too caught up in slot receiver disparagement.

Then there was the one guy convinced that our F tight end and Y receiver were "oil and water." LOL

Welp - they were all WRONG!!

So, does this mean the Pederson-coached Jaguars do not need a "true" number 1 (X) receiver to be potent offensively?

I've long contended that the "number one WR" thing was greatly overrated if you have a scheme/playbook suited to the guys on your roster. 
However, this offense could absolutely benefit from having a long and physical receiver who can win against boundary technique and make contested catches from the X position. 
They don't have a guy steeped in those traits, but the way they've designed the playbook greatly mitigates the absence of that player and gets great efficiency from those on hand. 

Add Ridley to the mix next year and it should only get better.
