Injuries have been a huge problem the last few years on this team, but injuries happen in every team (it is just a bigger blow to the Jaguars due to the lack of real depth on the roster).

 

Let us try hard to remove the teal koolaid glasses (no bias) and look at the Depth Chart vs the rest of the AFC South which Gus Bradley said the Jaguars will defeat this year.

 

QB

 

(after one week the stats)

 

Colts - Andrew Luck - 63.6 Qb Rating -  2 INTs - 53.1% -

Texans - Brian Hoyer -  72.7 Qb Rating  - 1 INT - 52% -

Titans - Marcus Mariota - 158.3 Qb Rating - 0 INT - 81.3% -

Jaguars - Blake Bortles - 54.5 Qb Rating - 2 INTs - 55% -

 

Okay so with the exception of the Rookie's All Star performance this week all the QBs in our division played a very similar game.  Everyone is flipping out about the Jaguars performance verus Carolina but look at INdy's vs the Bills!  Their offense wasnt expected to be great with a qb that most people have never heard of yet they crushed the Colts with Luck getting stats in garbage time.

 

In fact the more I looked into the week's QBs performance the more I realized (one what a fantastic game the rookie Mariota played, I mean wow! and the other being that all the QBs except Mariota played almost exactly equal in talent yet it seems only the Jaguars fans are flipping out)!

 

RB

 

(after one week the stats)

 

Colts - Frank Gore - 8 for 31yrds, avg 3.9, 0 TD, 0 fumbles

Texans - Alfred Blue -   9 for 42 yrds, avg 4.7, 0 TD, 0 fumbles

Titans - T West - 13 for 41 yards, 3.2 avg, 0 TD, 1 fumble

Jaguars - TJ Yeldon -  12 for 51 yards, 4.3 avg, 0 TD, 0 fumble

 

For the most part TJ Yeldon was impressive with his moves and didnt fumble like T West of the Titans and broke the 4 yards per carry mark, along with Alfred Blue whom ran great as well.
