Where was he yesterday? What did he contribute? Bortles picked up his slack. If he would've man'd up and ran hard like an old AP did, Jags win. If he's injured he needs to stay on the sideline. They already proved they can win with out him. I have no doubt the running game would've been better if he was just out for the game.

Where was Fournette yesterday? Mostly facing 8-9 man fronts like he has most of the season because our QB strikes absolutely no fear into ANY defense he faces. The Chargers were literally playing zero coverage most of the game stacking the box and daring Bortles to beat them. Luckily for him our defense bailed him out twice or we’d be sitting at 6-5. Maybe if we had a QB who can consistently make the most basic of plays our running game could get on track. Just a thought.

Bortles might not instill any fear, but running on first down, running on second down and forcing him to try and make a play on 3rd and 7 sure doesn't help anybody on this Offense.

And on the flip side of that, we don't have a single receiving threat who strikes any fear in the opposing teams either. Allen Robinson was that guy, yet we haven't had him since about 3 plays into the first game. This passing Offense went out the window with his injury.

This team desperately needs a receiving TE who could be an actual threat, game to game. Not just once, or twice during the entire season.
