The interceptions are frustrating to be sure; however, not all of those interceptions are the result of poor performance from Bortles. Please don't misunderstand me, he makes mistakes which costs us, but not every interception is completely his fault. Defenders do make great plays at times that result in turn overs. So I'm not quite ready to crucify Bortles just yet; he is, after all, playing behind the likes of Joeckel and Beadles. We have an anemic running game do to poor run blocking, which tends to make us 'one dimensional' in our play calling. If an opponents defense knows your leaning heavily on the passing game they can 'tee-off' of that and gain an advantage. This means more interceptions for Bortles.

 

Therefore, I'm not going to close the book on Bortles just yet. He's still essentially a very inexperienced pro quarterback who's playing without the benefit of a very good line in front of him. He does have some good weapons in the Allens, Yeldon, D. Rob, Thomas, and when he's on the field, Lee. Lets see what can be done via the draft and fa acquisition this coming year to shore things up a bit. I'm not a teal tea drinking homer, but I do think there's enough potential already in place that with some help in the right positions we would be a team to reckon with.
