There have been far less talented QB's that took far less talented all the way.

Also, what is the next level? we were two wins away from being champs and all signs point to us actually being better than last year. if we are not pretty much top tier than I'm not completely sure what that is.

I like to know the answer that question too because if Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Joe Flacco and Eli Manning can become Super Bowl champions why can't Blake do the same thing as them when he is just as talented as them. In addition, if other people on the team would have done their job including coaches in the AFC Championship Game this will be a reality instead of hypothetical.

Blake Bortles is only now in a position to begin showing and prove that can do these things:

• understand his own offense well enough to command it confidently / capitalize on mismatches and opportunities
  
• read opposing defenses well enough make the right adjustments at the L.O.S. 
  

The players you are comparing him to were able to show more of those two things in their successful campaigns than Blake has shown to date. Entering his second year in Hackett's system however, he may be able to finally get these things accomplished. I think he'll make good progress in this area.
