Quote:look at our stats for the year and tell me we didn't overestimate our WRs.  Julius Thomas had an awful year.  I'm not going to blame Bortles alone for the failures of the offense.  Many times this year WRs and TEs were failing to get seperation or dropping passes on big plays.  



 

 

Yeah... I'm just going to have to completely disagree with you on this one. 

 

The dip in receiving stats is about 90% on Bortles. The receivers were getting very consistent separation in the first half of the season and Bortles was either (1) not even looking their way or (2) throwing a wounded duck way off target in their general direction. 

 

He led  A-Rob, Hurns and Thomas into vicious hits with craptastic passes and it's no wonder they quit going for broke to bail him out. It was clear he wasn't going to miraculously return to form. 

 

There were easily a dozen more ugly dropped passes by receivers this season than last, but they pale in comparison to Bortles complete lack of accuracy.
