From NFL.com..........

“Bortles told the Los Angeles Times recently that Sean McVay and the Rams' coaching staff is unlike any he encountered with the Jaguars.”

What he said was NOT a "slap at the quality of coaching" here in Jacksonville, rather it was more about praise for McVay and his staff with his new team.  There is nothing wrong with what he said.  What is wrong is how it was editorialized.  He never once mentioned the Jaguars' coaching staff.


Here is the entire quote for context.

Quote:Bortles told the Los Angeles Times recently that Sean McVay and the Rams' coaching staff is unlike any he encountered with the Jaguars.

"Seeing how he coaches, how all the other coaches coach and how the guys are receptive and take it, I've never seen anything like it," Bortles said.

I disagree. It was a subtle criticism. No, he didn’t mention the Jags coaching staff directly, but he didn’t need to. The implication was clear that if he had received the quality of coaching he’s experiencing with the Rams, things would have been different with the Jags. Apparently I’m not alone with this interpretation. Read the following article from The Sports Daily..........

“Blake Bortles takes a shot at Jaguars coaching staff”
