Bortles will become the best QB of this franchise

#50

Quote:This is the part that has my jaw dropping. You have to give some credit to Oley's play calling as well, but last week the offense converted 5 of 8 third downs with  Borltes in there. For him to have at least started out this game converting 9 of 10 is just flat out incredible.


 

Last year the Jaguars ranked 29th in the category converting only 32 percent of their third downs. The league average was around 40 percent while the Saints were the best in the league at 48 percent. I don't know what the Jaguars total was for the game, but 14 of 18 equates to a 78 percent 3rd down conversion rate.
 

 

As a follow up here, I just read this at jaguars.com...


 

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> The first-team offense converted 10 of 12 third downs.

So in the last two preseason games, the first-team offense has converted 15 of 20 third downs. That's 75 percent. It's tough to put into perspective just how amazing this is.
