I think they could get some things out of the playbook that don't play to his strengths and then beef up/add wrinkles to the things that do. Definitely.  

He struggles with shallow stuff to the sidelines. (saw that last night - but the stats show it clearly as well) 
He's good in the middle of the field, shallow, intermediate and deep. They need to use that even more. He's terrible throwing deep to his right and great throwing deep to his left.  They should probably develop a way to take more shots to that side. 

This is just the most obvious stuff without digging deep.

It is obvious stuff, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that he's throwing more ints than TDs this season with a good offensive line in front of him giving him enough time to make reads if he can. Teams know where he can throw decently and they cheat there.

Also that second int last night was as bad as any I've seen Bortles throw. Stared his guy down, should have seen the defender breaking on it and threw it anyway. He made the tackle because he knew it was a pick the moment it left his hand.
