Yes and no. There was reason to believe he was turning the corner last year and even to start this year. No one (ok very few) expected him to regress so badly in a matter of weeks.

Bottom line, the coaches decision to go conservative in the 2nd half of the Patriots game cost the Jags a chance for the Super Bowl and $20 million on Blake's salary / 1 year extension.   They blamed themselves for tying Blake's hands AND subsequently rewarded him for potential (instead of performance).

Kind of crazy how we all know the game is over if we're down by 4+ with 5 minutes left, even if we have possession of the ball.
