Blake has consistently thrown them late and inaccurate for his whole career. It's just part of the deal when you have a slow release, not great anticipation, and spotty (to put it kindly) ball placement.

not everything is Blake's fault...If a receiver can get his hands on the ball he should catch it...there have been many dropped balls by receivers that were not on Blake...Not defending Blake, just trying to be fair

That's what made AROB  (and Hurns in prior seasons) so effective and valuable to the passing game. Their ability to "contort" and catch passes that aren't thrown perfectly is a real benefit to Bortles. 

Bortles is back next season. I don't think there's an immediate plug and play upgrade to be had. The Jags have already come close to advancing to the Superbowl with BB at the helm. 

Draft a QB and let him develop behind Bortles. 

Next season will be pretty telling. The schedule looks much tougher next season (I know, good teams one season may not be good the next). If these teams are playing at a high level like this year, we'll definitely see how it's going with Bortles.

Titans X2 (lost both games to them this year)
Patriots 
Steelers 
Eagles
@Chiefs
@Bills
@Cowboys

If they look good getting through that, Bortles will be the guy moving forward (rightfully so).
