<p class="">Jaguars QB Blake Bortles told <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/ESPNdirocco'>@ESPNdirocco</a> that he played this season with two shoulder separatoins and wrist tendonitis.
This explains so much.
Bring in a mid rd QB/vet FA to push. But this helps ease my mind a bit, and seeing him play his last two weeks with good mechanics and solid football helps.

<p class="">Not sure how long he was playing with these injuries, but if he was dealing with these early in the season, it could partially explain the major regression in his mechanics. Either way, hopefully he works hard this offseason to at least get his mechanics back to a 2015 level.
Just saw this. Explains a bunch.
Also with an impaired liver.
It really confirms what most of us had thought to begin with.
Wrist tendinitis is painful as hell. I get it often from breaking my wrist a few years ago. Not being able to grip the ball explains a lot.
Not trying to be a Negative Nancy, but I'm a little suspicious about the shoulder separations as there was never a time where was taken out of a game. Unfortunately wrist tendonitis just keeps getting worse, so that's not good either.
So the team intentionally failed to disclose injuries on the injury report?

It's pretty obvious one of those shoulder separations happened late in the season against Detroit, but who knows when the tendonitis began and the other separation happened.

I remember him hurting his shoulder in the Detroit game.

Wouldn't be the first time a team has done that, but the NFL does frown upon it, so hopefully nothing comes of it.
Holy smokes... gotta give Bortles credit for toughness
Obviously you still need to bring in competition...but this has to give some people a little hope. Guys play with injuries sure, but shoulder seperation AND wrist tendinitis for a QB is obviously going to hamper a lot of things.

I suspect the second seperation occurred when he did in fact leave the game (don't remember which game) near the end of the half and left for the locker room early and Henne came in for a play.

Might've been the game I was referring to.

If you watched the games than there was clearly plenty of times where Blake got hit and could barely pick up his shoulder. I saw it on multiple occasions, especially around week 12/13 if I remember right.
Guy had shoulder seperations and tendonitis and instead of pulling him in a losing season we let him keep chucking 40 times a game
Our franchise is absolutely inept, they have no idea what theyre doing.

Maybe he didn't disclose them.

Not our franchise, it's Gus and the funky bunch.
Like good lord was he the worst HC I have ever seen. Even though we lost against IND at the end, the team looked SOOO much more competent those last two weeks than at any time I can remember with Gus. Obviously guys like Marrone and co. can only do so much midseason and yet they still made it look completely different.
You wish he could be the answer...would be a great story

Especially damning if Gus knew and kept repeatedly saying he wouldn't switch qbs.
