He's young and he's still learning the game of football.

Oh, and he got us to the AFC Championship.

He did not get us to the AFC Championship. The entire team got us here. Largely, thanks to the defense. One QB, especially an erratic one should not take so much credit for where we are. Just look at the Buffalo game. Bortles was bailed out by our defense. This past week, Blake performed much better and although the defense gave up more points than usual. If you look at the long TD strikes by Pittsburgh though, the coverage was spot on. Roethlisberger just threw it to the perfect spot and his receivers made great catches. Football is a team game and the entire team should be congratulated for getting us here. QB's normally get the bulk of the credit, but in this case, the offense and defense are equally as important. So far, when one side has a bad week, the other side performs great and it saves us.

The Jags don't win the Steelers game if Bortles isn't QB. I just love the "narrative" people have. If Bortles throws for 35 TDs and 4500 yards and goes (5-11), Bortles is a loser. If Bortles has a 2.5% INT rate, 21 TDs and leads to AFC Championship, Bortles was "carried there."

Dude, Bortles is the best QB in Jags history. 90 TDs and 64 INTs at age 25. Dude is on pace to throw for 350 TDs in his career.

Get a clue.

If they don't, they're fools.

The only fools are those who never saw Bortles is a franchise QB. He's about to get an extension.
