I don't believe A-Rob would have helped change the outcome when our special teams spotted the Rams 17 points.

I think ARob is worth at least a 14  point swing in that game, and probably more than that.

I'll elaborate. With ARob in the game I doubt the Jaguars are in that same punting situation that lead to the block for a TD, that's seven points off the board for the Rams, and I also think the Rams don't play and get away with the goal line defense in the mid field all game long without giving up at least one extra TD.

A lack of balance was essentially what lost the Jaguars the Rams game. I think the Jaguars probably get a 14 point lead against the titans with ARob and win in the same fashion they did against the titans late last season, and the Jets game isn't even one that should have been a loss to start with. With a threat that demands down field attention like ARob the Jaguars would be in the national media attention bubble that the eagles are currently in.

I'm only citing the rams game. The tacks tilt may have indeed been different if Hackett felt he had the firepower to throw more early on in the game instead of selling out to the run.  The jets game could have been won in a myriad of ways. 

But teams rarely overcome shooting themselves in the foot the way the jags did vs the rams. I see your points and they make sense. I'm just not as confident #15 would have made that much of a difference.
