POLL Blake Bortles: Bust?

[Ickey Shuffle]

It looked like he was primed for a breakout 2 years ago, but it all went to shit fast.

 

[jeffro151]

Maybe he just needs some stability in his coaches. Since his rookie season in 3
2014, Jacksonville has had 2 head coaches, 3 OC's and 3 QB coaches. That can't be good for his development.

I never bought that. He was the ultimate garbage time QB.

Well, Jags look legit this year. Maybe the kid is finally getting it.

Still not playing the best ball. But the Jags look good this year.

 

[Clayton]

Holy hell, Bottles is all sorts of awful.

100% bust on a fantastic team

 

[molsaniceman]

without a doubt

Bortles did lead them down the field for the game tying. Gotta give him credit for that.

Nah, that was like 50% Jags supporting cast, 45% Chargers choke job, 5% Bortles.

He is Tim Tebow all over again

The roughing the passer call did help, but Bortles goes 3-4, 20 yards and a 2 yard rush on that drive. Not huge stats but they did have a short field to their advantage. Having the team be healthy this year is helping also. Defense is playing great. The entire team is improving, including Bortles. Since the Steelers game he's been playing a LOT better.

28/51 273 yards 1 td 2 picks is good
both picks were at end of the game u know with the team trying to win down by 3
but the chargers would not be denied a loss

Compared to the guy who went 8-14 for 95 yards and 1 INT, I'd say he's gotten a lot better.

Does a team lose more 3 point heartbreakers the past 2-3 seasons than the Chargers?

They always find a way

They have had some brutal HC's and Anthony Lynn is just another one

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Blake Bortles has to channel his inner Trent Dilfer and just not fuck things up. Jax is a legit threat otherwise.

 

[packerzrule]

How effin good would that team be with a decent QB?

One was thrown to an area with 4 defenders and 2 receivers and the other one was thrown at an area with 2 defenders and 0 receivers. Those INTS would've been awful at a college level.

Some of that is Rivers. Its not in every game but he has some issues that show up in a lot of them.

I'm gonna disagree and say he's not. Their D saved them during regulation and got them into position for the winning field goal. Bortles tried to give the game away twice and his D bailed him out. He's stayed the same IMO. He still makes turnovers at the worst possible time for his team and that's not improving in my book.

No need to tell me, Ive said for years that Rivers flies under the radar as the most overrated QB ever, cause he plays in a market and city that didnt care about football

It is astounding how many games they lose in the final minutes or by a slim margin.

If they had any sort of finish, they'd be a playoff team the past few years

 

[Yo Tee]

Since December dawned, no quarterback in the NFL outranks Bortles in passer rating, Total QBR, yards per attempt or touchdown passes. Over his past three games, Bortles has completed 71.4 percent of his passes for 903 yards, seven touchdowns and not one single interception. The Jags are averaging 35 points per game in December and have locked up their first playoff appearance since the George W. Bush presidency
