Obviously the biggest move the Jaguars made was swapping out Blake Bortles for Nick Foles.So the question initially becomes; How many wins is Nick Foles worth?The 2018 season was a massive disappointment for the Jaguars, namely on the offensive side of the ball. It was one of the worst offenses in the league and second to last in points per game with an average of 15.3. To be frank, you’re not going to win many games only scoring 15 points and to do so requires a near lights out performance by your defense. Asking your defense to do that every game, as we saw last season, isn’t sustainable.That’s not to say there weren’t some games where the Jaguars defense let them down, but by and large it was the lack of production on offense that did the 2018 Jaguars in, even with all the injuries.Could Foles have saved 2018?One of the biggest arguments during the 2018 season was about the quarterback position and how much it was helping/hurting the Jaguars. Often you’d hear people exclaim that no quarterback could have success for the Jaguars that season because of the lack of playmakers and the injuries to the offensive line. I wholeheartedly disagree with that and think even someone like Nick Foles could have won more games last season because he’s simply a much better quarterback overall than Blake Bortles or Cody Kessler.My evidence: The Jaguars nearly went 3-1 with Cody Kessler starting.The Jaguars lost six games in 2018 by six points or less Cheap Josh Allen Jersey , four of those by a field goal. If the Jaguars anemic offense was able to just score an average of five points more per game they probably win at least four of those games, kicking their record to 9-7. It still misses the playoffs, but that’s a hell of a lot better than 5-11.A big sink in the Jaguars offense last season was they just got absolutely nothing for the quarterback position, regardless of what was going on around them. Simply put, in a vacuum both Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler were awful anchors for the Jaguars offense in different ways. For Bortles, he couldn’t hit simple passes and didn’t take care of the football. For Kessler, you lost any ability for explosive plays and you had to play the grinder game.But playing that grinder game kept the Jaguars close enough to win some games, but it also makes it so a simple mistake kills you. The Jaguars with Foles probably beat the Steelers, they probably beat Washington and they still beat the Dolphins. A simple upgrade to a consistently average quarterback Josh Allen Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , at worst, transforms that offense. It won’t be the Kansas City Chiefs, but maybe you’re the Baltimore Ravens or Cincinnati Bengals and averaging 23-24 points per game.Nick Foles doesn’t need to make the Jaguars offense a Top 5 offense in the NFL, they just need to average about 23-24 points a game as long as the defense stays as good as it has been the past two years and they should win a handful more games than they did in 2018, even with the lack of offensive playmakers they currently have.If Foles can do that, he will be well worth his contract. Just when you thought that it couldn’t get any worse, the Jacksonville Jaguars will remind you that it most certainly can.Milking the clock with a 10-6 lead and time running out on the Washington..."Just when you thought that it couldn’t get any worse, the Jacksonville Jaguars will remind you that it most certainly can.Milking the clock with a 10-6 lead and time running out on the Washington Redskins chances, the Jaguars just needed to do what they had done all day in stopping an equally anemic Redskins offense and run out a couple of first downs to send the home crowd at TIAA Bank Field away with some positive vibes going into 2019. Instead Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys Stitched , they got a sequence of events that included a deflected pass that should’ve been intercepted instead fall into the arms of receiver Jamison Crowder to set up a game-tying touchdown; A blatant offensive pass interference call on Donte Moncrief that would’ve extended the drive into Redskins territory; Another deflected pass, this time off the hands of Dede Westbrook and caught in the air by a Redskins defensive back. All of which led to a come from behind win for the Redskins, 16-13, in front of a modest crowd of Jaguars supporters seeing their team’s home schedule come to a merciful end.To say the offenses for either team were worthy of their playing times, would be a disservice to actual NFL offenses. The Jaguars leading rusher was quarterback Cody Kessler, whose 67 yards on the ground was ten more than his yards in the air. Leonard Fournette had accounted for all of 24 yards before being benched for all but one play in the second half, in which he produced a 22 yard run, before limping off the field in a microcosm of his Jaguars career to date. Washington’s leading rusher was quarterback Josh Johnson, on loan from the San Diego Fleet of the new Alliance of American Football League Josh Allen Jersey 2019 , but his 150 yards passing and lack of turnovers was enough to lead the Redskins back to .500, at 7-7 and still in the hunt for a wild card spot, allegedly. The Redskins trailed for much of the second half after a Dede Westbrook 73 yard punt return touchdown before halftime made it 10-3, Jaguars. But the Jaguars defense collapsed when it needed to make one more stop to bail out their offensive teammates and, much as has been the case all season, an otherwise good defensive performance was wasted on an offense that is an embarrassment to the game and to the fans.The Jaguars with the loss fall to an abysmal 4-10, with road trips coming against a desperate Miami Dolphins and the playoff-bound Houston Texans to finish the season, a 4-12 record seems inevitable. So does a multitude of organizational changes coming for the Jaguars.
