Regardless of what happened last year, I still stand by my statement. 

 

Even in the "crappy" year that Bortles had, it was statistically better than it would have seemed. I think we relied way too much on the passing game - with no semblance of a running game… He did have his fair share of bad plays, but I am still optimistic for the upcoming year.

 

There is no way that some untalented QB throws for as many TDs and yards as he did in his first two years. Fix and solidify the O-line, supplement his talent with an actual running game - and I think this is a recipe for real success. 

 

I will willingly take my fair share of crow if Bortles' career crashes and burns.
