Quote:I do think the roster is good enough to make the turn. Are they good enough to challenge for a playoff spot? That's debatable. I think the offense will improve significantly when you get Lee and Thomas back healthy, and we get Joeckel back on the line with no issues. I don't think this team is as far from making their move as some here want to believe.

I dont think people are understanding how pivotal bortles' development is. Drops suck, but they happen. The good qbs overcome it and continue to take chances downfield. Bortles is now getting into this habit of getting conservative whenever he faces adversity. That's a legitimate concern, as is his lack of composure when the blitz comes. He doesn't just sit there and take sacks like blaine, but taking off and trying to run right away isnt the answer either. When a lineback blitzes, your hb or a receiver running a cross is likely to be wide open.


Good quarterbacks make everybody look better. Blake's second half performance wasn't near good enough, and unfortunately that's what we have seen most of the time since he took over. San Diego started out great, then.... Fart noises. Very similar to Sunday.
