Jags are pretty awesome, but melee units aren't as valuable as ranged weapons. And Jaguars become outdated too fast.
If anything, Jags could probably use a buff. Instead of healing 25 pts when they defeat another unit, how about letting them heal 25 pts each time they attack an opponent? That would make them more viable for a longer period of time.

Jaguars are really awesome, definitely a better unit than I initially thought they were before I tried them out a while back. You can use them early on in place of scouts, since they don't get stuck in jungles (which let you explore your surroundings early without scouts). If you get the honor opener, you can spot barbarian camps early and then go hunting, netting you some insane early culture. The healing on Jaguars makes them great barbarian hunters, because they can kill off one barbarian brute and continue moving to hunt another without taking the time to heal that other civilizations would need to take.
After barbarians start to die down, you can upgrade your Jaguars, and they get to keep their promotions. You shouldn't need to build many more melee units for a while. Jags and their upgrades aren't amazing at taking cities, but are good at being a very good melee support for your army, and you can get some great peace deals if you kill off AI armies and still have your Jaguars left.
The Aztecs are not nerf worthy, but Jaguars are very fun units that can be used extremely effectively, especially with raging barbarians on.

Just the tip
To the original thread creator, sounds like you need to change your tactics dramatically. Try diversifying your army. Can you elaborate on what have you been doing to mitigate the attack besides just building archers and walls?
