It's kind of like a lot of other things in the world today.  It's easy to blame the issues on one thing instead of looking at the larger group.  We had a bad defense, an awful offensive line, no running game, young young receivers, a first year quarterback.  The whole team was young and green.  Yet somehow everyone here only looks back and blames Blake Bortles.

This message board is sad.

If everything goes as plan like all the experts are saying that the Jags should be a much improved on D and a running game. Have a more competent coaching staff.  Games should be closer and less chance for garbage time.   Now we get to see if Bortles can execute and be consistent rather than just slinging the ball and throwing up jump balls.

I agree.  I'm not here saying Bortles is going to blow the world away or be the second coming of Roethlisberger, but the hate he is getting here is pathetic based on the previous product here.

I just hope the line holds up.  Take less chances, decrease the mistakes/interceptions and I think the season will dramatically change.
