I laugh at the fools who said "Why isn't Bortles good with all the great WRs he has Hurns and Robinson?"........uh did any Jags fans watch Hurns and Robinson play last year? They were both terrible, couldn't catch or get off the line of scrimmage much less separate from opposing corners. 

This year with actual SPEED WRs, Keelan Cole, Marquise Lee, and Dede Westbrook----actual WRs who know how to separate, the offense is #5 in the league. 

Bortles is good. Doesn't matter which WRs are in the game- Bortles makes them better. The people who said "Allen Robinson is elite were wrong. The guy is a possession WR who can't beat #1 corners." 


The entire offseason will be spent on getting 3-4 MORE OL players......already a shortage even if we had Branden Albert. Bortles plays GREAT when his OL protects and plays terrible and throws INTs when his OL can't protect.......that's 95% of QBs in the NFL.

Dude... you completely ignore the awful inaccuracy and INTs and put all the blame solely everywhere else.
Yeah drops kill a QBs stats... but every QB deals with issues.
The best ones overcome them.

Bortles is great, until he's down 2 scores and we need him to make something happen. Then he's downright terrible.
The less pressure on him, the looser he plays. But he cracks under pressure.

Last year YOU and all the pundits said that Bortles was only good in garbage time. Once again, I tried to educate you and tell you HOW WOULD YOU KNOW when their scoring defense for 4 years straight was #26-#32? ALL OF THE JAGS GAMES WERE GARBAGE TIME.

This year, Bortles is playing BETTER with the lead than he is without the lead. What excuse do you have now? Nothing.


OL will be addressed in the offseason. It's the worst unit and problem on the team. Leonard Fournette is an all American in college and #1 high school player in America. He gets behind this o line and he's a plodder with 3.5 YPC. O line and Luke Joeckel was the main reason Bortles threw many INT's early in his career as well. It's amazing that Joeckel didn't get Bortles killed or paralyzed after 110 sacks his first 2 years.

Most franchises build the o line up first. Cam Robinson was a good start. We need at least 3-4 more studs for depth. Branden Albert was a bad miss.
