Bortles Article: How to Win Without a Quarterback
|
For me - the big takeaway from this article is not the slight on Bortles or the low number of pass attempts.
It's the coaching. We have a coaching staff that is willing to go to great lengths to put players in position to win. They identify the strengths of their playmakers and scheme to them accordingly. Although it took them a few weeks to sort out the RB rotation, it's been clear from the start that they are bent on scheming differently for weekly opponents and seeking out ways to attack mismatches. We haven't seen that in a long time in Jacksonville and when Marrone and Hackett go out and pass the ball one time in an entire half - I'm encouraged. Not because they don't trust their QB, but because they are willing to do whatever it takes to win football games however unconventional it may be. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Thanks, for a minute there I thought I was the only one that realized this or this entire message board was comprised of from office interns.

I see that you like to be childish because someone doesn't agree with you crybaby but it's okay and everybody can't be adults in this situation.

It encourages me too that they can find ways to win game, but not superbowls. Which is kind of the point.

I agree, it looked almost like the Steelers decided their diva receiver had to get the ball and that was more important than winning. I don't see that kind of thing even coming into it for the Jaguars right now. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Exactly how did you interpret the argument to mean he will miraculously turn Blake into a great QB or whatever? Go back to 2015.

Very interesting, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I know the huge difference between working to make things better and turning water into wine.

They wanted to see if he'd ever develop to the point where he'd be able to perform that way This "hostage" team in 3-2 and alone in first! I don't give a damn if they stick him on the field in a shark tank, and let the D, and the run game dominate! I am enjoying pro football going into week 6 for the first time in a long time. So stop your whining and enjoy the ride, or take your Debbie downer $×+ somewhere else.

The beauty of the way we have this roster is it really helps us in our search for our next QB. We don't need a guy to throw 30 times and win off his arm. We just need a risk adverse QB with good accuracy and the ability to make some plays with his feet and /or take a few deep shots when needed.
Alex Smith and Tyrod would be perfect and would make us a contender in my opinion. Especially in what looks to be a very weakened AFC. That'll have to wait until next though , for this year just enjoy what looks to be a great coaching staff , good team and a solid front office (Sir.David Caldwell probably deserves a letter of apology from myself if this keeps us).

Maybe Caldwell is trying to show he can build a dominate team without the most important position. I think this team would be undefeated with a decent QB, but water is wet and snow is cold right. Thanks for posting this! It's a thought provoking article. It is nice to have a coaching staff that seemingly plays to their strengths and scheme around that. We have not had that in a very long time. (10-10-2017, 05:29 PM)JaguarsWoman Wrote:(10-10-2017, 05:16 PM)Jaguarrior Wrote: Found this interesting.

Blake Bortles and pocket passer don't belong in the same stratosphere.

This is the best Jaguars coaching job we have seen in years. It is encouraging and I hope we continue to see them scheme to those strengths. Marrone has nailed it up to this point and that has me encouraged about Jaguar football going forward.

The Bills are playing very well with Tyrod Taylor, so they just might want to keep him for a while - most certainly if they make the playoffs. Alex Smith is looking like it would be a big mistake for the Chiefs to cut him just to put Patrick Mahomes on the field. He has one more year on his contract IIRC. My bet with Frailbones is still on too.

If the front office work as hard to get a quarterback as it did to defend Bortles, I'd drop a grand right now in Vegas for the Superbowl. Hard to believe real fans want to waste a yet on a JackCity QB, but here we are... Superbowl windows close year to year by the way. Nothings promises, so get it while your hot.
You do realize we are opening the playoffs window now, right? Not the Super Bowl window because we have missed the playoffs for 10 years?

His point still stands. The playoff window opens and closes year to year for most teams outside of a select few.

We can't win in the playoffs with Bortles either. I'm not satisfied with just making there and no one should be with the team we have.

I am not satisfied with just making it there either, but after a decade of losing seasons, I will feel much better with a division title than being on the outside looking in. |
