While on the shuttle bus for parking at JIA earlier this week a few guys in their mid-20s, reeking of alcohol, started up a convo about the prospect of the Jags this year. One remarked that he thought Bortles would mature even more this season to which I replied that maybe he had stopped partying so much, if those rumors were true. That prompted a strong reaction out of all them with one stating that he saw Bortles was in such and such a bar at Jax Beach "all the time" during the previous seasons. So who knows, maybe being so close to a SB appearance, coupled with adult leadership on the sidelines, will bring us the best Bortles we've ever seen this year.
