The best thing about this victory besides keeping the Jaguars tied for 1st in the AFC South is that the "fat lady has sung" on the question about Blake Bortles' future in Jacksonville. Blake deserves credit for being one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL. No doubt, the depleted offensive line made it very difficult for him as he was constantly pressured. HOWEVER, he threw 2 interceptions in crunch time and should have ended up with a total of 4 "picks" if not for the Chargers dropping a couple including a sure "pick 6."

Sometime following this season (hopefully after the Jaguars win at least one playoff game), Tom Coughlin and Dave Caldwell will be having their final discussion about who they should target as the team's quarterback moving forward. It should go something like this:

Coughlin: " Dave, what are your thoughts about our quarterback position next season?"

Caldwell: " Well, Tom, I'm glad you asked. I know Blake has his faults, but he took us to the 2nd round of the playoffs and even though he threw
5 interceptions and fumbled twice in our playoff loss, he deserves one more year and we can still draft someone in the 2nd round in
case he fails to improve."

Coughlin: "Dave, remind me to never again ask your opinion on the quarterback position. Bortles had zero chance of returning after he nearly
singlehandedly cost us the Chargers' game."

Caldwell: "Sorry, Coach. You can't blame me for trying since I drafted him ahead of Khalil Mack and Derek Carr. Can I at least keep my job as I
did draft Jalen Ramsay.?"
