At this point in time, as in right now, judging from everything I have seen from Bortles play on the field, I simply cannot envision Bortles being able to win a playoff game, which is ultimately what any QB needs to do if his team is ever going to win the big one. I just can't see it. I'm also having a hard time just envisioning Bortles leading the Jags to a winning record, from what I have seen from him so far. 

 

There's no doubt 2017 is going to be a really telling season for Bortles as far as his career with the Jags goes and I am really hoping that he turns it around and there was really something to the improved looking Bortles we saw for 6 of those last 8 quarters of the season we saw last year, but as of right now, I am much more of a Bortles hoper then I am a Bortles believer.

 

I will have to see a much better and improved Bortles next season to become a true believer though. I do expect he will look good in the preseason, but what will he look like in the regular season when it really matters?
