I agree, the Jags defense is Super Bowl worthy.

I just don't consider a team a "legit" Super Bowl contender unless they have at least a tier 2 starting QB. In any given year the QB tiers greatly vary, I'm aware of that. Some years Tier 1 consists of 3-5 QBs and some years it's 5-7 QBs. However, Bortles isn't even a Tier 2 QB this year; and while the Jags have an elite defense, it's not "All-Time Great" elite. But yeah, if they do find a QB, then they're going to be a huge problem for us and the rest of the NFL for the next few years if they keep their defense intact and if they can stay healthy.


On another note, Tom Brady only has to beat two the following QBs to win the Super Bowl this year:

Blake Bortles (garbage)
Case Keenum (average)
Nick Foles (garbage)

The Patriots are so well-coached and so good in every other facet, the Pats could probably start their backup QB from here on out and still win the damn Super Bowl.
