Honestly, its not that Jason was weak so much as Percy himself was considerably nerfed. Lets face it; with the Curse of Achilles, Percy would've dominated Heroes of Olympus. So they came up with a convenient way to make sure he didn't have it so he was unable to overshine the other members of the Seven (i.e, Jason), as the life-changing Curse of Achilles is reduced to an old Greek curse that the Tiber River can wash away. Even though Percy bathed in the Styx - the literal boundary between life and death itself. Which was so powerful it would've burned away his physical body and his soul, and he would've ceased to exist entirely had he lost sight of his mortal point; the 'anchor' to his mortality; not sure how a little river magic was capable of bypassing that.
