Don't you think our passing game is simplified due to the fact that Blake Bortles has struggled so much in the past? I know going forward we want to focus on the run, but I think if we had a QB who was able to handle more, our passing scheme might be a bit more advanced. I truly believe we would like to do more with the passing scheme, but we are limited with the QB we have.

That's part of it but not having true deep threat or a number 1 WR is a big part as well.  When you have no deep threat or a WR teams have to double there is only so much you can do in the passing game.   Blake still has half a season to prove himself

C'mon man. It's because Blake is a terrible deep ball passer. We could have Julio Jones on one side and Tyreek Hill on the other and Bortles still couldn't get them the ball. It's just something he struggles with. Cole has shown the ability to get deep and be a playmaker, so it's not like we have nothing in that regard when it comes to WR. 

You say Blake still has half a season to prove himself, but I've seen enough to know he is holding this team back. He has too many limitations in his game that force us to play a more simplified scheme. We could do so many more things on offense if we just had a more well rounded QB. We don't necessarily have to get an Aaron Rodgers type, just someone who shows the threat to be able to win the game with his arm. We're so close to being a Superbowl team, I can taste it. We just need a QB to get us over that last hump.
