Yeah.  It was Blake freaking Bortles carrying that team.  LOL.  You'd have to be delusional to believe that.

I think you completely misunderstand what I'm saying.

Our offence was top 10 possibly top 5. In a run first offence you require a qb to regularly convert. His receivers are poor he must have done something right?

Also if the running game carried them, why didn't they carry them the following year? Or was Blake playing well in 2017 and not in 2018?

Or was as actually was the case our oline was good in 2017 and bad in 2018? Which killed the whole offence not the qb or the rb.

No.

You keep trying to rank the offense as a whole when the pass offense was woefully out of sync with the run.
You need to evaluate them separately.  Roping them together only skews perspective. 

The run game failed in 2018 because they lost 6 O-linemen and 3 running backs to injury for significant periods of time. 

You apparently want to prop up 2017 Blake Bortles far beyond the pedestal on which he belongs. He played fairly well in significant portions of 7 or 8 games.  He played inconsistently and displayed very poor accuracy the rest of the time. 
One must also recognize that he did this within the construct of a watered-down offense laden with training wheels designed to mitigate the mistakes of an inaccurate QB.  
It was fools gold, and it was unsustainable.
