Quote:Doesn't matter if Bortles has a big game or not. He's had a few this year as well and our defense/special teams managed to let him down. The entire team has to show up on Sunday. It's the one thing I can't stand about this year so far. If the offense shows up, the defense sits that one out. If the defense shows up, the offense decides to cough the ball up a bit more. If the game can be won with a field goal, we miss it. If the game is a battle of defense and no scoring on offense the punt return or kick return squad manages to give up premium starting position on the field. It's always something with this football team. Total team effort is needed.

Bortles has improved enough where he can win games almost by himself. To me it matters if bortles continues to play well or even improve even in a loss. Bortles could throw for 3 tds and 3 ints and that'd be great to see.


Ideally a 2 td no int game would be nice but with so much working against him the margin of victory and success gives him only so much chance to earn a win.


He's putting up one of the best seasons a qb his age has shown in nfl history with little help. A quarter of recievers stop running routes and he's top 15 qbs in the world already.
