He was passable against the Bengals, and poor against the Rams, Steelers, and Chargers. And there is still virtually no QB you are less confident in if the game is on the line. Pray the defense and special teams dominate, or we lose. That's been the entire year.

You're almost as bad to argue with as JDub. 

Baltimore QB rating: 68.2 Blake: 128.2
Cincy: 80.3 Blake: 91.9
Rams: 77.3 Blake: 83.2
Steelers: 78.7 Blake: 48.2 (Shazier "INT")
Chargers: 76.6 Blake: 60.3 

Without his #1 WR. So he outperformed the averages in 3 of 5. The Steelers game he would have been at 78 in the Steelers game if not for the INT that was more a fumble than it was intercepted. Admittedly he was rough against the Chargers. 

I mean, that's a pretty solid track against 5 of the best pass defenses

Bortles has been playing really well. He's on his way to earning himself a spot on the roster next season.

With that being said, there are guys that could definitely make the jaguars more dangerous, and really put us over the top.

Now QBs don't grow on trees and between Blake playing as well as he has and his durability, we could also do a lot worse.

I'm still hoping we can draft Mayfield, and let him sit behind bortles (or whatever stopgap) until he's ready.
