He routinely tries to sidearm throws over the DL for starters.
He also stares people down and has a longer windup.
To top that all off, he's a bonehead.
Lee
Guy has not done much. I think we are sitting here hoping he can replicate his college success, but he's a dud in the pros
in defense of Poz that should have been off setting personal fouls. The rest I don't have an excuse for

He also rarely pump fakes or looks off a safety. His body language is completely readable by defenders, he hasn't developed the misdirection that better QBs have.
That is a hard choice to make. Too many boneheads on the team.

All of the above for me.
1. Benn: first of two penalties nullified go-ahead TD resulted; this cost the Jags the game
2. Lee: dropped 3rd down and totally misplayed the last Jet punt
3. Bortles: no awareness of throwing lanes
4. Hackett: horrific play calling on 1st and goal from the 6 yd line. Hand it off to #27 four times and win the game
5. Marrone: go for it on 4th and 3 in OT
6. Run Defense: no comments necessary
Coughlin has to be going out of his mind! Jets kept giving this team chances. Did Marcedes have a catch?

We know what we have in Blake. We have a pretty good defense to offset Bortles' play. If Lee catches the dang ball! We would be 3-1 right now. Nothing else matters. When we rallied back and it was all on the line, play makers gotta make plays.
If Lee would if caught the ball on the crucial 3rd down we wouldn't be talking about Bortles

So many worthy choices.
Not Benn. Fournette probably wouldn't have scored had Benn not held on that play, since the defender would have been in position to make the tackle. Those holds happen. It cost the Jags some yardage, but still left them with a 1st and 3 in the redzone. The offense needs to score in those cases.
Lee comes in first because he made two bonehead plays. You expect some drops from him, but that one was right in his hands, besides being poorly timed. The punt return disaster was just stupid.
Poz was illegally blocked in the back on the return, and it was blatant enough to warrant a unnecessary roughness penalty. How did the refs let that slip by? However, Poz was incredibly stupid for mouthing off at the defender.
Hackett. On any one of several key third down plays where the Jets stacked against the run, Hackett should have called for a run by Bortles. The Jets were not stopping those.
Run defense. Two long touchdown runs. Maybe Telvin touched the runner on the first one, but the players still needed to make sure he was down.
Bortles and the OL. Other than the really stupid attempt to pass over a lineman in his face (who came in unblocked) which resulted in an interception, Bortles was just being Bortles and the OL was just being the OL. They were not playing below their level yesterday, and the Jags should have won that game easily with their level of play.
There were also several cases where it appeared that Bortles threw to a spot where the receiver should have been, but wasn't. One play to Marcedes in particular stood out to me where he should have come back and didn't. I've also noticed that Bortles frequently leads him too much in his throws. Either Bortles can't adjust to receivers with different speeds or Marcedes slows down too early.
