For sure if he was honest there. Just saying poor qb play is going to lead to scrutiny. He has to expect that as a pro athlete, especially as a QB.

Thought he was a safe bet after 2015, no one could have saw him dropping off like this. Its just sad...he may have been a bit overhyped with the stats he put up that year but he still played like an average to above average 2nd yr QB which was impressive.

Anyway, Bortles never looked like a natural passing the ball with the needed arm talent to be a good starting QB. The fact that he's going into his 4th season and still working on changing his mechanics pretty much sealed his fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just too much going against it, but I can honestly say this: I'd rather have Bortles be the starting QB for 16 games, rather than any other QB currently on the roster. I agree. I think you have to take the chance. If you get Fournette rolling and the defense playing well, you might be able to build his confidence and game back up. Remember that he actually played well over the final two games last year with Marrone and Hackett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t charitable, didn’t give back to the community, he didn’t try to connect with fans, and even tried to push fans away. He was a jackass, and deserved to be kicked on his way out, and I’m glad he still sucks. Blake is such a good guy that you just hope he figured it out, even if it isn’t here. His worst offense was going to a beach bar on his day off, being a 20-something bachelor, and having fun with people in the community. If this is the end for Bort, I wish him the best. Agreed. Blaine Gabbert was such a pompous arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said ‘15 and ‘16 were wholly different in this. EDIT: by that, I mean this: In the first half when a team was within one score (eight or fewer points) last year, Bortles was the worst quarterback in the league. He completed just 96 of 158 passes for 963 yards and five touchdowns with eight interceptions. was not even close to the case in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 One regressed beyond what made any sense, the other continued to develop. Sucks. But Blake absolutely was on the same tier as Carr after year two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jags in my opinion only need ryan fitzpatrick type production to make a run at the playoffs. For what though? I mean yeah it would be great to get out of the basement even briefly...but look where Fitzpatrick on a good year got the Jets. Then bad year happens and they're a total wreck of a team. It can fall apart fast. The whole aim of this scorched earth Jaguars rebuild was to build a perennial contender. That was the justification for purging everything when they came in. This team needs to find a long term solution at QB. That's what really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
