It is just astonishing, how if something can go wrong it will.

Perfect pass to Mercedes in a key moment.  Clonk.

Get ahead of the chains to set up a good play call?  Some absurd penalty, 1/2 the time away from the play.  

A ball across the middle that 1/2 the WR's in the NFL would haul in routinely?  Tipped in the air for a gimme INT.

Need a big difficult catch?  Decent enough pass hitting the WR in the hands. or he initially snags it and it pops out.

I have never seen a guy who has no teammate make a play for him like this guy.  IT doesn't mean you don't replace him, but I have never seen a team let a guy down like we do that guy, who has enough of his own problems.

Mercedes shouldn't be running pass routes. Lee drops it routinely. The offensive line let's guys take free runs at him from his blind side.

Still with all of that I've seen enough bad out of Bortles to believe the team won't make it over the hump with him at QB.

We're already playing for next year's draft, because if you can't win against a middle of the league level team like the titans at home then you're just playing for draft position.
