No doubt. Great thing is, you can say probably all his best performances of his career have come this season. He is balling right now, without question.
Starting to remind me of a young Joe Flacco. Just hope he is as hot in the playoffs as a young Joe Flacco.
Blake really played great today. Very, very encouraging performance.
Blake's performance today gives our fans legitimate hope that the Jaguars may not need to overpay some free agent quarterback during the off-season. They could also wait until the mid-rounds of the draft to select a developmental quarterback to replace Chad Henne. This would enable the team to grab a tight end and offensive lineman in the first 2 rounds. Upgrading these 2 positions and getting back A. Rob will make the offense much better next season, especially with guys like Westbrook and Cole having their rookie season behind them.
I've been as critcal (realistic) as anyone about Bortles this season but there was no doubt he was in full command of the O this game.
The crow looks delicious in this thread.
I mean.
I just watched the whole game and I am so fired up. What a great team win.
Special teams had some bad plays and those 2 TDS from Wilson sucked but hey.... GOT THAT W
He has thrown virtually just as good in past games as he did today, minus 1-2 more pressured passes with sketchy results on average. But today there was almost no dropped passes.
We have to give credit to our O-line today. This was the most comfortable I've seen Bortles in recent memory. It all starts with the O-line. Outstanding job on their part today. You know it's the O-line stepping up big when we finally get both the passing and run games doing work.
But you're damn skippy, that 75 yarder, season high TD pass (career high too?) today was a DIME. That was an elite pass. Then the touch pass TD was textbook perfect as well.

Haters? Blake has deserved every bit of hate he’s has gotten.
He has played better this season and the last 2 games are some of the best of his career. Everyone... and I mean everyone is pulling for him because if he plays well, the Jags are almost unbeatable.

Yup. After our special teams turnover on the kickoff return, and the game being tied up subsequently by the Seahawks, it would have been very easy for this less experienced team under Bortles to get rattled, and lose the momentum. Turnovers like that which are so devastating in a close game almost always precipitate critical momentum shifts, but just as you put it, Bortles remained poised and delivered a dime, his longest and arguably best pass of the season, to get us right back on top. Outstanding effort by Cole to carry it to the house.
How can you not love it?

I’m a Bortles critic and not sold on his future yet, but can’t deny he played great today. I hope he keeps it up through the playoffs.
Blake has been spinning it the last 2 games, and he is playing mistake free. There is no doubt he is taking steps in developing as a starting tier NFL QB. 16 TDs with 3 games to go isn't bad at all.
He just has to be consistent and the sky is the limit for this team and for Bortles
BB5 has turned the corner. I'm a believer now. Hat's off and going in all the way raw with this one.
Great Game and Season so far Mr. Bortles.
