Saying the Jags have "ruined" Bortles is harsh. I still believe he just isn't quite ready to play, but we really have no choice. He still makes some great plays every game, but he also makes way too many boneheaded plays. The majority of his INTs aren't even close, usually due to him refusing to give up on the play when there isn't one to be made. 

 

I know some may laugh at this, but so far I'm seeing a little too much Favre and not enough Rodgers. I don't want a turnover machine who makes a few great playes here and there as my franchise guy. However, he is a rookie and rookies make silly mistakes. That's just the way it is. We have been given unrealistic expectations due to a few rookie QBs coming in and playing well over the last few years (Wilson, Big Ben, Dalton, Ryan). That just isn't the norm if you look at the history of the league. It has been mentioned before I'm sure but Peyton threw nearly 30 INTs his rookie season. Look how that turned out. Give it time. Bortles has already proved he isn't JaMarcus Russell or Blaine Gabbert. He can play, but he can use a run through the Kobayashi Maru test. lol
