Quote:Hey guys. Seeing the Jaguars under perform while seemingly having more talent this season reminded me of the Chiefs team that went from 2-14 in 2012 to 11-5 under new head coach Andy Reid the next year. I crunched some numbers to see how both the team and how the QBs compare through 12 games.

As for the quarterbacks, the Chiefs used both Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn so I combined their stats to compare to Bortles through 12 games.
