Blake Bortles

I'm glad we won and I'm as happy as anyone that Blake played well but he'll never be a great pocket passer and his performances are inconsistent. He has almost all the qualities you'd want in a signal caller but the consistent ability to thread the needle. This isn't hate, nobody hates a guy who is humble and works hard. It's just an honest and reasonable evaluation.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

There was only 1 defensive score, but they set the offense up 3 times to score. The INT and the 2 4th down stops. We needed the D.

Things lined up beautifully for us. The fact is, Bortles was still under 60% completions for the game a was wildly erratic at times. He didn't turn the ball over and made a couple key plays, but no matter how you look at it, he's still the weak link on a very, very talented team. Let's not get crazy. I LOVE that we beat the Steelers, but I'm still cautious about this team going forward. You're not being fair to Bortles. Obviously, you'd like to see the Jaguars draft Rudolph or Mayfield in the 1st round of the draft and Bortles' performance today makes it very unlikely that this will happen. He had a QBR rating of 94 and didn't turn the ball over. He also made some big throws when the team needed it most. No one will ever call Blake a great quarterback, but the team has won 12 games this season with him as their quarterback. He has significantly improved his ability to take care of the ball and his toughness and durability cannot be questioned. Your username could not be more accurate. When the Jags offensive line opens up holes and protects Blake like they did today, this team is tough to beat. Rather than drafting the 4th or 5th rated quarterback at the end of round 1, this team needs to continue to strengthen the line. Imagine Will Hernandez blocking for Fournette. Adding him and a tight end in the 2nd will make this offense hard to defend, especially with the return of AROB. They can still get a developmental quarterback in the 3rd round- maybe even Ferguson from Memphis.

Just saying cause the games the defense holds, and BB has done just enough to win, we win in spite of him.

(That was one heck of a run by LF on that one though,, WOW was that good?!) The defense scored a TD and directly caused more points by that INT from Jack.

Jags defensive gameplan will have to change next week. If our front four doesnt get much pressure, we'll have to blitz a lot.

The lack of pressure was really frustrating. Thankfully the Pats don't have an Antonio Brown. His TDs were just immaculate. The Lev Bell TD catch was perfect as well. Not many guys can make those plays
Correction, Brady is unreal QBR vs the blitz - the way we win is pressure him constantly and win with gold coverage. NE WRs won't be making the catches in near perfect coverage that roasted us for TDs today

I heard and saw his interview. I was wholly impressed with the way he carries himself. A leader. Also found this gem on Twitter

I admitted I made a mistake about the defensive TD. It was a typo. Calm down. Did I say it wasn't a hard fought win? No, I didn't. Of course every win is hard to come by and I'm very proud of this team. I was simply pointing out that this does not secure Bortles as our QB of the future. Don't get your panties in a bunch. |
