Quote:Been a fan since the jags began in Jax. I've seen all the players and coaches come through here. I'm not saying Blake isn't good. I'm saying let's stop attaching these franchise records to his name to try and prop that up. The records here are small compared to most other teams. It's like saying Steve Beuerline was good because he set 15 franchise records his first year (hopefully you understand why). Again it's not to discredit Blake, I just find it funny that the records are a validation to his greatness.


I do think Blake is good. He still makes a lot of mistakes and bad decisions. Some of it is due to youth, some of it is just bad all around. He definitely needs to improve quite a bit and I hope it happens.

 

A Buerlein comparison....phenomenal.

 

He is the closest thing we've had to a franchise qb since Brunell, and in my opinion, Brunell was a system qb and the players around him made him look better than he was.  I think Blake makes the players around him look better.  No running game, terrible offensive line, but pretty good receivers and they work well together.  To not give him credit where credit is due is pretty unfair.  A second year qb breaking a 20 year franchise record is still impressive, regardless of your opinion.
