Quote:He looked worlds better than he has this season, without a doubt. He wasn't perfect, but his mechanics were better, his decisions were eh, but he was at least accurate for the most part. No matter when it happens, weather trailing by 10 or 100, you don't just luck into 35 touchdowns and many multi touchdown games. He's bad this year and there's got to be a reason. If he's just bad and that's that, well then we're on a quest again for another QB, but it's hard to swallow this time around. He's shown major flashes of greatness. 

Believe me I know it's hard to swallow, after we've sucked this long. We're still years away because of it, damned right it's hard to swallow.  But the longer we wait to admit it, the longer it's going to be before we fix it.  Sorry, I've seen no greatness from Bortles, I see a QB who produced fluky inflated stats against a historically bad and soft schedule last year.  He was bailed out MANY times by horrible jump ball throws ad nauseum... He simply cannot throw the ball well enough for the NFL, and that was the worry when he was drafted.  Add in a mix of bad decision making, and yes bad coaching, and it's full on toxic.
