Quote:Flash7,

 

If you had to do a position by position comparison between the Colts and Jaguars, to which team would you give the advantage at each position and why?

 

I'll spot you QB since you've been arguing Luck over Bortles all thread.  But you said the Colts and Jaguars have similar talent.  I'd like to see you expound upon that.

 

It's a fun exercise. The only starter on defense that anyone could say is a clearly better than average last year was Telvin Smith, and he's not that good in coverage. The only other guys that could be argued were possibly above average were Colvin and House, not top 100 material, but quality starters. On offense I'd give the advantage to the Jaguars almost across the board, but I'm not sure that Flash7 would do the same.

 

The colts had a clearly better kicker when it came to being able to count on him hitting kicks that should be hit. He did miss extra points, but not nearly as many as Myers.

 

I'd say that the biggest difference, though, is in coaching. Pagano showed an ability to get his team to win games it should win right from the beginning. That's the biggest difference in the Jaguars and colts right now. The Jaguars continue to enter games they should be able to win completely unprepared. The chargers, falcons, saints, and second titans game are excellent examples of that from 2015. The Jaguars have been the ultimate "get well" team under Bradley. Teams come into the Jaguars game in a tailspin and continually manage to right their ships against sprinkles and the gang.
