Bortles isn't perfect and he wont ever be, but he's not the reason we lost vs the Titans. If you think he was, and if you think he's the weakest link on this team, you're flat out clueless.

At the end of the day, Bortles is the 2nd best QB this Franchise has ever had. It's honestly pathetic how bad this franchise wants to run off every QB because they can't carry a team like Peyton Manning, or Aaron Rodgers could

The titans game got out of hand in the 3rd quarter, heavily linked to a dreadful and unfortunate quarter by the QB.  I am not sure it is level reasoning to only pinpoint players around him.  Overall, the titans were the better team and controlled the trenches so the Jags couldn't function as a unit.  They jagged the Jags in Week 2; opponents are taking notes.


I believe Bortles is the most gifted QB the Jags have had, mechanical issues aside.  Ranking 'bests' however is another story.  He has to prove he is a fixture at the position that can lead his team to wins first.  I  hope he continues upward for the stability and progress of the team.  titans days will happen, but if more Houston and B'more Blake show up this season, he will justify the 5th year choice.
