It's unlikely. 

Just one more reason why I don't understand the clamoring over a #1 receiver by so many. 
Bortles likely ceiling in this system is probably somewhere around 3800-4000 yards  - and you've got 5 or 6 WR guys capable of contributing 500+ yards each , plus ASJ, plus three backs that will catch plenty of swing passes and screens.

There's just simply no need for that constant go-to guy in this system. 

Blake has multiple speedy receivers to hit on those rare early-down PA shots down field, he's got a couple of big bodied possession guys, he's got a speedy-ish TE with hands for the first time, and he's got what should be one of the best run games in the league. 

O-Line injury seems to be the only thing that could really turn this whole thing sour. It should be a capable offense otherwise. 

On the Marrone topic, I'm disappointed by the change of tack in the AFCCG. Other than that I really like him. Curious to see how that game affects his strategy in post season this year.

Agreed. For the most part, I think we're pretty o.k. on interior depth with Reed and Shatley, but the OT depth is paper thin. We should learn a lot more against Atlanta, since Richardson should get a good look on Saturday, but I still don't know how the team plans to use him. Are they wanting him to be a swing tackle or would he be used exclusively on the right side? If the latter is the plan, we might want to swing a deal to bring in a veteran LT for insurance. If Robinson were to get hurt, we'd be screwed! I'm gonna pay close attention to how Richardson plays and where he plays this weekend.
