Quote:Let me break this down for Bortles haters.....


JETS (4-1)- Ryan Fitzpatrick 9 TD- 7 INT-------defense #1 in NFL in opponents PPG at 15.3


JAGS (1-5)-Blake Bortles 13 TD- 7 INT----------defense #32 in NFL in opponents PPG at 30.4




These dimwits see the problem now?

 

The defense is our Achilles heel.  Bortles deserves some criticism, but we should be supporting our franchise QB who is about to break most single season passing records for Jaguar QB in his 2nd year...  He is one of the few things that makes the games entertaining and gives us some hope that we can win.  He is about 30 total yards away from breaking franchise passing record based on average yards per game and on pace to break franchise TD record by 11.  His INT per game average, I believe, will come down (and need to) with continuity.  His passer rating this year is 14 points higher (at this moment) and has thrown more TD's in 6 games by two than he did in 14 games last year.  He is averaging 64 yards more per game than last year as well.  Bortles is improving in every area right now except for INT rate and completion percentage.  Those of course are things he needs to get better at.
