The Tide of opinion on Blake Bortles has shifted and reality might be starting to set in. year (1)............rookie season.......speaks for itself. Year (2)...much promise........little delivery. The "mental part" of his game was starting to show serious cracks. In spite of that many were naming him Franchise. Personally, I strongly disagreed with that and have said he will NEVER be that kind of Brady, Rodgers, or Manning type. In fact, I thought he would barely become a slightly above average QB in this league. He raises more questions than he answers. And now Year (3)...........his season pretty much mirrors the season the team is having also as a whole. It's pretty obvious Gus will be handed an exit visa and maybe Caldwell too. On paper, this team is much better than their record indicates but after nine games, it's entirely possible the players are looking for this to get over with...............FAST! The Jags have ALLOT of problems and yes............Blake Bortles contributes to a good portion of that. But, if he wasn't in there..........not sure they'd be any better off in the won / loss column. The offense (particularly the running game) has been dismal. There is NO REASON with the kind of talent they have in that backfield that even collectively the running game sucks. The confidence on this team has been completely shattered. They need wholesale changes to this team.
