There’s no denying he’s had a bad season this year but I’m far from giving up on him becoming a game changer. He has all of the tools to be great and has time to adjust his game to how the league has adjusted to him.


Peyton Manning had a terrible rookie year, 2 good years and then year 4 hit and the Colts went 6-10 while Peyton had 26 TDs and 23 interceptions. The Colts didn’t give up on their young QB and I think it would be foolish for the Jags if they did.

As far as Bortles being a better QB, all you need to do is refer to this video for a wonderful trip down memory lane:

Bortles wasn’t terrible except when he was. He had games where he looked like a perennial pro bowler. His problems were horrible inconsistency and at times comically bad accuracy. His worst was really bad and his best was occasionally spectacular.

It’s difficult to compare the two other than a remarkable inconsistency. Trevor’s three years in now. He should have put his terrible, multi-turnover games behind him for the most part but we haven’t. He’s been so bad in that respect, that it’s being discussed in terms of historical perspective. This isn’t just about a putrid OL or receivers running bad routes. This has become a part of the evaluation of the player.
