However, I think the worst part of your post is that you seem to think that only Blake was to blame, when the texans got worse QB play and won 9 games and a playoffs game.

Bortles wasn't as good as he could have been, but he was not the disaster some people seem to think. He was just a part of the failing of the team. It didn't help that often when he played well enough to win the defense made up for it and let the other team come back. Same thing with special teams and fumbles. Ivory was a fumbling machine, and his fumbles killed momentum in multiple games.

The team was clearly talented, but never had a good game plan and always seemed to have major mental lapses last year. I attribute it all to coaching.

8-8 should be considered the floor for this season if Bortles is an average QB like he was last year. (and that's what he was last year, an average QB)

Ok then.
