Has the confidence bump from the playoffs and can really hone in on his craft. Last offseason was all about getting those mechanics acceptable and was fighting for his job all the way up to week 1 of the regular season. This year maybe he can spend more time fine tuning what he built on.

Although on the flip side of that he still is fighting for his job this year if he remains a Jaguar. Could argue theres much more pressure this year as we are expected to win, have a really tough schedule and will be on national TV a lot.  Either way it'll be interesting to see how he develops if he stays here.

I have a sneaky feeling that Blake will be starter next year, and he will come out of the blocks absolutely on fire, and this whole discussion is quickly forgotten. I think this season has been a bridge to getting his confidence back and he'll be ready to truly kick on and become a no-question franchise QB. 

Either that or he absolutely sucks. The problem with Blake is that, at this point at least, you just can't know what you're gonna see on any given Sunday. I completely understand those people who do want to move on from him.

I'm with you here. I think the reason I have always had his back has something to do with his reputation among teammates being great, and the fact that he just handles himself like a true professional. I think he wants to be good and works extremely hard. I feel like trying to block out all the critics really affects your confidence. To me, there is no question about his ability. I think he has the potential to make every throw, can manage offense, can use his legs if needed. If he figures out how to do all of those things on a consistent basis, we have the makings of a dynasty on our hands.
