The coaching cost the team wins last year. Blake cost the team wins last year. The coaching should have been more proactive in mitigating Blake's repeated errors and working to shore up his technique, but he made plenty of straight up boneheaded bad decisions couple with very poor accuracy. 

Bottom line:  Lots of blame to go 'round here and we don't really have to agree on exactly how it's divvied up.

Now - do you two believe the current roster  (assuming Marrone and company are at least a mid tier staff) has enough talent to win 8 games or more in 2017?

The OP started the thread by assigning blame.  I think the discussion was on topic though I would have preferred a more civil and rational response from SeldomRite.  It's the internet though so it comes with the territory.

I do think Bortles could win 8 or more games with this roster.  I also think he could be the reason we don't if he doesn't progress.

Yeah - my bad - I forgot that coaching comment in the OP when I posted that. ^

And I agree on the QB situation.
