Jacksonville Jaguars-F

Doug Marrone’s team entered the season as a sleeper pick to win the Super Bowl. Instead, they turned in an ugly 5-11 campaign filled with drama and dysfunction. That’s enough to earn the team a grade of F for the season.

No one expected Blake Bortles to suddenly turn into Tom Brady, but he played even worse than before. Throwing 13 touchdowns versus 11 interceptions on just 6.7 yards per attempt doesn’t get it done in today’s NFL. Jacksonville’s number one priority this offseason needs to be finding a long-term answer at the game’s most important position.

Bortles play wasn’t helped by Leonard Fournette’s disastrous season. The highly-touted running back only managed to produce 439 yards on 133 carries. He battled injuries and suspensions all year long. Next year is going to be a make or break season for the talented, but troubled battering ram.

A narrative developed in some circles that claimed the Jaguars defense wasn’t quite as good this season, but that’s largely overblown. The unit finished fourth in the NFL while giving up just 19.8 points per game. The group might not have been quite as dominant as they were last year, but this debacle isn’t on Jalen Ramsey and company. This team failed because of offensive ineptitude.
