Quote:The defense is better. The offense is bottom of the league. The special teams are competing for worst all time.


Overall it's a team that is worse than last year, and maybe even worse than under Mularkey. Try to really consider that prospect for a moment.


The only thing we have is hope that Bortles turns it around, and right now if I wasn't a Jags homer, I'm not sure I could find a compelling reason to believe that is going to happen.

 

The defense is better.  The running game is better.  Bortles is a rookie, what better evidence do you need of a player with the potential to turn it around.  He's athletic and has a great arm.  He also has a rookie receiving corps and is playing tentatively due to the turn overs.  Is there any question that he's a better QB than Henne or Gabbert?  The special teams have made some big mistakes but there are aspects tthat are playing well.  Mularkey was dealing with a team that hadn't been completely torn down and rebuilt from scratch.  This year's team has *waaaaay* more upside so try to hold on to some perspective.
