His teammates say that his brash demeanor is one of the reasons they love playing with him.

 

"Just to see that fierce competition in his heart and to know that he's not being cocky, he's being confident and a lot of players can't do that," Kennedy said. "When you see your quarterback with so much radiance and confidence then it transfers to all the other players on the team."

This is EXACTLY what the Jaguars need. They need someone to step in and have that confidence that the rest of the team can feed off of. We totally lack that right now, and IMO this is what Bridgewater is missing. Bridgewater reminds me a lot of Eli Manning or Blaine Gabbert in the regard where he just doesn’t seem to have the same confidence and fire for football.
