Love this guy's attitude and always have. In the postgame presser they asked why the last couple games have been so chippy and if it was due to the team's attitude. He said something like,
"Yeah, that's part of it. But also I think people don't expect to lose to the Jaguars like that. And we've learned we don't have to take stuff from anybody. We just dominated you for 60 minutes, you don't get to talk."
The QBs who take a while to develop, while gradually getting better, end up with better careers in the long term
These flash in the pan QBs do not have a long shelf life.
Wonder if we can break the west coast curse and win at San Francisco.
Bortles best performance as a Jaguar.
He's getting better as the season rolls on, and he's doing it without his two best receivers (A-Rob and Hurns). The man's learned to play.
I'm so pleased to have seen this Blake tonight.
He's been showing signs of this all season. I hope he can continue it and develop into the QB we all wanted him to be.

I so, so, so hope this is true.
He is doing this with 2 starting rookie WR, rookie RB, and rookie LT. I hope he keeps it up. All 3 rookies had a TD and Cam had a damn good game
Blake Bortles.............franchise quarterback.
yeah his touch in recent weeks has been STELLAR! The only throw I wish he'd stop making are those throws on out and drag routes to the sideline when the receiver has made NO separation.
We really need a reliable TE threat
Above all else he was amazingly poised.

The one to Westbrook would have been good if he placed it over the top
He's beginning to stack good games together. That's big. If he gets hot then look out. The best part of the last two weeks is that the footwork looks great and your seeing spirals not ducks. If the ball keeps coming out of his hands like that then he has a chance to be good.
Also, props to the receivers sterling up the last couple weeks. Coles catch was really good, lee made a lot of strong catches westbrook on the fade was ridiculous, and the corps as a whole is stepping up.
Bortles and Lambo get game balls. The offense got it done today. The defense was pretty good but they almost cost us the game sadly. I hope to never see whatever that was again.
What I've noticed about Bortles is that he's playing with poise and confidence. He's comfortable in the pocket, he doesn't make dumb throws when he's flushed out. For the last three and a half years, the game seemed too big for him, but he's caught up and mastered it.
Please keep it up.
But shouldn't he have been cut and traded for Tyrod...

He's such a clear upgrade!

The same people think Mariota is good lol
He is playing with confidence. The offensive line looked a lot better today we were able to run the ball at an average level. He single-handedly gave us a chance with his legs to beat the Cardinals but the defense blew some more coverage at the end. If we can keep Fournette healthy and get some better offensive line play I am cool with Bortles sticking around. Get rid of Henne though.
His best game as a Jaguar for the second week in a row.
Also, his WRs finally helped him out a bit. I didn’t know what was happening when I saw guys running free in the secondary.
