Quote:When a team plays prevent defense in the SECOND HALF of a game, you're going to get passing stats.
I can't believe I'm explaining this.... how often do you think we were going to run to ball coming into the 2nd half last night? Now how often do you think we were going to run the ball if the game was close? Lol you think that's "irrelevant" when talking about a QBs stats? Like... seriously?
Hilarious is the fact that you don't understand that more passing= more passing stats. Phillip Rivers' offense doesn't go 6-6 for possessions/punts.
If you watched last night and thought that Blake looked even remotely decent last night, you shouldn't be judging QBs.
Don't even bother. You're not going to convince Blake's Dad to see the truth about his son.
Are there people who actually click BCC links?................Suckers.
Quote:Ok but this is ONE game. What about last December when Bortles threw for 5 TDs and his defense lost 39-42? Was that garbage time? Should the Jags look for a new QB who may be able to throw for 6 TDs in one game at age 23?! That will be easy to find.
you look at his entire body of work, in context.
nowhere did I say that Bortles isn't a young QB or doesn't have potential. POtential is a funny word... how LIKELY is he to reach his potential? I think very unlikely.
It's his 3rd year, he's not a rookie. His 3rd year should be significantly better than his 1st and 2nd... and he's regressed this year compared to last.

Judging by being ONLY the 2nd QB in NFL history aged 23 or younger to throw for 35 TDs and 4400 yards (Dan Marino the other) and having the BEST QB season in Jags 21 year history.....one could EASILY argue he's already living up to his potential.
See you in 3-4 years when he's a top 3 QB!
Wouldn't it be nice if the defense EVER lived up to their potential in FOUR years of under 28 ppg?
spacecoastjag,
should the jaguars hire david cutcliffe millions of dollars to be Bortles personal QB coach.

Cutcliffe is great. Was at Tennessee, not only for Peyton but especially AFTER Peyton where he took a below average QB in Tee Martin, beat Donovan McNabb, and won a National Title AFTER Peyton left.
That being said, Cutcliffe is older and has a destination job at Duke with a $1.7 million salary. His (51-57) record at Duke with Duke's academic standards is quite possibly the best ANYONE could do there.
Bottom line, he's not leaving Duke.

Wouldn't it be nice if Blake could actually score points in the first quarter to... you know... help the defense?

Bortles would benefit if he went to the Mannings training camp, the one with high school qbs.
Blake's arm is spaghetti. He's done.
Remember the blow out last year to the pats. They had no sympathy and did not switch d all game.

^Exactly.
Last night:
7 plays PUNT
5 plays PUNT
3 plays PUNT
3 plays PUNT
3 plays PUNT
You know, if the offense could sustain 2 or 3 drives, and you know, score some points, it;
- keeps the opponent offense off of the field longer, limiting their points
- keeps the defense off the field, actually letting them get a breather and less opportunities to be scored upon
- keeps the game close, within reach, as long as the offense can put up some points too.
This has been a problem vs Tenn, Oakland, SD, Balt just so far this season.
But, to guys like space, that doesn't compute AT ALL.

I mean it's been over a year since the Jags have scored a TD on their opening drive. Thats insane.
And how many times have you watched a game this season and said "Wow.. What a throw by Blake!" .... Once? The throw to Julius in week 1?
Quote:Bortles would benefit if he went to the Mannings training camp, the one with high school qbs.
He went to all of those camps and dominated.
Jeff Driskel was from Oviedo and the #1 QB recruit 5 STAR player in the country the SAME YEAR
Bortles was from Oviedo and a 2 STAR player with 2 QB offers (UCF and Colorado State who mainly wanted him as a TE)
Bortles and Driskel both were at the same camps.....
Bortles dominated the camps but the star system was already predetermined based on Driskel running a high school shotgun offense.
Driskel is awful.

Are you sure Bortles dominated at those camps, I need to see some youtube videos. lol

Oh come on now, be consistent. If a bad QB is a result of a bad coach then we can blame Driskels first years on Muschump. As soon as he left that scheme and went to LA Tech, his numbers skyrocketed. He had a better lone year at la tech then any of the years Bortles had at UCF.

Bortles was better than Driskell?! OMG.... CHAMPIONSHIP!
Are we seriously talking about Blake Bortles highschool football camps?
The dude sucks. Whether he changes that fact or not is up to him.
