Quote:Not really. He got out dueled by Charlie Whitehurst man. Im mean that was his best game but we still lost to a sorry Titans team when mostly everyone thought we were gonna win. When I say great game I'm talking about him putting the team on his back to a win.

So the difference between Blake having a great game and being "out dueled by Charlie Whitehurst man" is Scobee's game-winning kick being blocked. Pro tip: it ain't. This is a great example of why wins and losses don't matter right now.


And understand they (coaches, GM and Khan) knew this was going to be the result. Khan said it himself coming off the elevator that fateful day at Everbank Field Bortles started the second half and begin his career here in Jacksonville. He said "I'm happy because I have seen the future." It's not about right now.


It's about next year, which is the deadline they set for themselves. I think they are on pace for that timetable, as evidenced by how good the D has developed along with the bulk of younger players with few exceptions. So Bortles will develop right along with the rest of the team.


But absolutely no excuses next year--across the board, from the coach, GM, coordinators, quarterback, and all the way down. And I'm talking Day 1 of the offseason. Question everything. But it is way too early in the process to be clamoring for wins for validation.
