When your OC is trying to find creative ways to not throw the ball, you might not have the best long-term option. This past Sunday should have been more than a clear indication that for as "well" as he is doing, it's because the workload is limited. Be honest with yourselves. Bortles lost Chargers game twice in 2 minutes (bad calls and all). I can't imagine the Patriots, Chiefs, and Steelers being as forgiving as the Chargers were this past weekend going into January.

Looks like the Jags are hoping for Bortles to supplant Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson as the worst QB's to ever win a Super Bowl. However, this window of greatness for the current defense is really kind of small with a unit anchored with Free Agents. I think the penultimate question is this: Even if Bortles goes full Dilfer and wins a Super Bowl, do you still believe in him? My answer is more than likely going to be no. this is based on his physiological ability (Poor mechanics, technique, Stamina)

There are two things the Jaguars must do in the next off-season (wow does it feel good to not be thinking about the draft already). 1. Find Talent to develop for replacing defensive starters like Poz, Jackson, Campbell, and Church. 2. Find the Franchise QB that can be relied on

I find it quite obvious that a change is needed. This team is wasting a legendary defense with Bortles on the other side of the ball. I'm proud of what he's been able to do. He's faced a ton of adversity, he got benched, he lost his best receiver and found a way to snag 6 wins. There has been such great improvement in so many areas, and heck, we have never seen playoff Bortles and we know if a QB gets hot in the post-season, they can be a whole different player. I'm still pulling for him, but it's pretty clear that this team is being held back a bit.
