Quote:Worse passing defenses? I urge you to go look at the stats on that and Im sure you'll find that mariota has gone through more brick walls than bridgewater. Strength of Schedule is currently in the Jags favor but thats only temporary because the texans and colts will only get better % records as the season goes on. Expect them to ruin it for the jags.

 

Go look at scouting reports. Arm strength isn't apart of ted's top 3 attributes. He is a more hyped russel Willson/Drew Bree's. We can debate on pocket presence giving bridgewaters pocket QB style but the others are clear.
