Quote:Bortles passed Todd Bouman in yardage in his first game. Bortles jumped from tied for 22nd in yards, to 15th. We can reasonably expect him to jump to 11th by the next game or two. He needs 196 yards next week to make that happen.


He's also tied for 10th for most passing TD's by a Jag QB. He needs just 11 to pass Quinn Gray and rank 6th. It's unlikely he passes Gabbert in touchdowns this year, he needs 20 more. It's not impossible, but not very likely. Still I'd love to see it happen. He needs just 1.5 TD's per game.


On the other hand he only needs 1029 yards to pass Quinn Gray's yardage. Average of 79 yards per game, which if he can't do then we're in trouble. Passing Gabbert is unlikely, because Gabbs has 4357 yards. That'd be 318 yards per game. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see him pass Henne and Gabbert next year -

- Assuming he stays healthy all this season and next he needs just 142 yards per game to pass Gabbert, and 200 yards per game to pass Henne.

He can also pass Henne this year in TD's, but he'd need 1.9 TD's per game, so I wouldn't count on it. But I think we could see it happen next year easily.


To pass Henne's yardage for this year, he needs 269 yards. I'm not expecting it to happen next week, but it's also not impossible. Henne had 10 quarters. I think Bortles passes it in 7 or 8.
