Quote:Nahhh I give him 5 games to prove he has improved... that's it! If he still can't make the plays needed to win games then we sit him..
Recent history says the Jags will probably be 1-4, with 2-3 being possible, but a possible longshot after 5 games. I don't want to even think about the Jags being win-less after 5 games at this time.
It will probably depend on who our 1st 5 opponents are though.

This team after the acquisitions made this off season should have a winning record, you would think.. But that all depends on Blake Bortles! Will he be better or the same?? If he doesn't improve this team still fails! No matter who we play..
I believe he can throw 30 TDs a year and still only win 4 games.
But nah not really
Quote:except Matt has never been as bad as Blake ever.
So last year (2015) he didn't total 21 touchdowns, and 22 turnovers?
As for the question, voted a very hesitant yes. Right now I say give him the year, but if the F bombs are flying by week 8 -I want my vote back.
Quote:Why do you believe him?? Lol people who have faith in a guy that has proven to lose, don't seem in touch with reality to me... I wouldn't trust you people!
Coming from someone lobbying for RG3?
Quote:Bingo. It amazes me how many people think the team was 3-13 solely because of Blake Bortles. At one point it was going to take the Jags 7 games to pass Adrian Peterson's single game rushing record. The oline was horrible. The apologists say they ONLY gave up 35 sacks..lol. They couldn't gain more than a yard running the ball because the oline couldn't even get a push against teams who played us against the pass. Want to talk about garbage stats? The "Top 10" defense was 25th points allowed which is all that matters. And above all else, the head coach had the worst record in NFL history.
He has 12 wins and 34 lost. So almost three times the amount. Blamed on the (coaching replaced) (Blamed on the line replaced) (blamed on the running backs? Though Grant had a great game with the same terrible line and Bortles lost again.)
Add to that 2016 in 6 games rushed over 100 yards as a whole. Blake during that span 1-5 same line. 2015 3-2 5 games rushed over 100 yards as a whole same line.
So imprioved running. Add the two together 3 wins 10 lost. If you add the 2014 rushing total over 100 yards 1-10 so grand total with games the team rushed over 100 yards or more. is?
4 wins and 20 lost So with more of a balenced offense has shown he won a total of 4 games.
Lets do some more math. The total under 100 yards rushing in 3 seasons is 8 games won. 8>4
But yet a more balanced and improved rushing attack. Will only lead to half the amount of wins.
Why are these stats ignored? What will a better run blocking line accomplish? How will a better running back solve our issues?
And this is the guy I guess we need 200 plus yards of offense a game rushing. And over the course of 16 games maybe will win 5? See the problem? All you stat people.
So my simple question is this? Do all us haters/realist get a I am sorry I was wrong. And eating crow if Blake does not start winning?
Nope, probaly swept under the rug. As usual. But yet. Easy to drink the Koolaid even if that koolaid is sour and flat.

I'm trying to find that 12th win that TTR has for Bortles. Pro football reference only has him with 11 wins and 34 losses:
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/pl...rtBl00.htm
I know it's only 1 win, but wins means so much around here and I'm trying to figure out who has their stats wrong, TTR or Pro football reference.
I am sorry so that would mean he is 7>4 when we run less as a whole. So thats even worse.
And if ya go by year by year. It says 12 not 11.
I voted 'yes'...
but mine comes with the caveat that he's on the thinnest of ice with me. If he comes out looking good in preseason, I'll feel better, but as soon as the real games start, if he hasn't shown significant improvement I'll turn on him quicker than the board turned on ol' Gussy poo.
He has shown at times to look like he could be really good one day. That's a lot of ifs and buts for a 4th year player. Put up or sit down.
My hope is that if Blake does start to tank again, TC steps in and does Dave's job for him.. We can't have another full season of letting Blake throw pick 6's and wounded ducks..

You win Blake Bortles as your starting QB for the 2017 season. Congratz
