If Bortles had sat all last year like what was originally planned and he was playing the way he is now we'd all be pretty optimistic. He needs to get better no doubt but he certainly has progressed and is playing at a decent level for a 2nd year starter with little veteran help. At least this team has been competitive in games except the patriots, and has a realistic shot at going 3-3. I know as fans we all are sick and tired of losing and patience in running thin, but you can't honestly look at this team and say it is not improving.
