...short answer; yes, I think he exists.

Do I think he is the long term answer for the Jags at quarterback? Ah! a much tougher (and more clearly posed) question.

 

He has not done enough of the right stuff on the field during a game to convince me that he is. On the other hand, he has been doing plenty of the wrong stuff on the field to make me question if he will ever be the right guy for us at quarterback.

 

Still... I think we should give him one more season to see if he can be convincing as the starting franchise quarterback. To convince me, he will need to become far more consistent with making good passes and stop committing so many turnovers. Yes, I know he has set franchise records... I also know most of that was accomplished during 'garbage time' play. I care about the teams win/losses, not about individual records.

 

I'll believe a lot more in Bortles as a quarterback if he can lead the Jags to it's first winning season in a long time this coming season. If he doesn't, we need to look for a better quarterback; simple as that.
