Quote:Considering he's on pace to have more TD's and less INT's than that this season?
Just like Blaine was on pace for over 20 TD his first two games of the 2012 season?

Quote:I'm the opposite of worried. I am encouraged by his progress and his ability to learn a completely new system once again. He has now learned two systems in as many years. That speaks to his intelligence and football acumen, his physical traits are not even debatable. To say otherwise is disingenuous.
Quote:What is this progression you speak of? Has he learned not throw into double coverage? Has he learned not to lock in on Allen Robinson the entire game? In 3 Games Marcus Mariota is leaps and bounds better than Bortles. And please don't tell me about some junk TD that don't even matter. At one point yesterday the score was 30-3. Let the BBINT excuse train continue
Quote:If you had told me in August that by the end of September, Bortles would have 5 TDs and 3 INTs, all without Julius Thomas and missing a lot of Lee, I'd be happy with that.THIS, THIS, AND SOME MORE OF THIS PLEASE. Thanks for your optimism and seemingly intelligent opinion on the subject. That is all. Some of you though, continue to carry on with the whining and complaining if it makes you sleep at night.

Quote:Blake is horrible. Mariota is great.
Now what?
Quote:Man you always seem so angry and upset. If you hate the team so much just follow another team. You are allowed to pick what team you want to follow. This doesn't seem like the one for you. I've never seen you post one marginally positive thing on this board. You're making yourself and the actual fans on the board miserable.Simple, he is not a Jags fan. He is a message board troll. Our board is over run with them. I think the T.U. must have shut down their comments sections.

Quote:Just because a guy comes on the board and is venting and critical about Blake Bortles does not make him a lesser fan.
Some people are more optimistic by nature - others are pessimists. I think with our not-so-recent history, I understand the pessimism of many of our fans (and I add myself to that list)..
I ask myself this question. What is MORE LIKELY to happen?
Bortles plays around the same way he did last year, Jags go 3-13.
Bortles improves a little but overall continues to struggle and we go 5-11 this year?
Bortles improves and we win 7 games.
Bortles improves drastically and we win 9 games.

Quote:I think it makes you a lesser fan if the only thing you can say it Bortles sucks. Or this team sucks. It is just lazy. Nothing wrong with being critical, but offer some substance. I know most who post on this board are over 20, but I have had more intelligent conversations with much younger fans about the Jags.Definition of Fan
