"Every play"


That team is soooo loaded with talent on both sides of the ball

If he isnt completely and utterly awful (probably will be), they could be a 10 win team

You can't fix mediocre QB. Another bad season they'll be in the hunt for a QB next draft.

Mediocre is far too nice a word for a QB like Bortles. If he was mediocre, they would have won the division 2-3 times by now.

I gotta disagree with the winning the division 2-3 times by now. By my count it would just be 1-2 times.

In 2015, the Jaguars defense finished 31st against the pass in DVOA and was 26th overall in DVOA. They gave up the 4th most First Downs and were 27th in Takeaways. That defense wasn't making the playoffs.

Bortles actually was mediocre in 2015, too. He probably got lucky on a lot of risk/reward plays.

Truth be told if Bortles was mediocre it'd probably involve coaching not being a warm suit if we're operating outside vacuums. But yeah, there are enough moving parts here one thing probably isn't going to sway things; though I did notice being 27th in takeaways. That'll tank a DVOA pretty fast; and quite frankly I think it was mishandled. There really is no excuse for failing to win the division in 2016 with the Texans being a zombie team: Houston was 29th in DVOA in 2016

In 2015: 18th for the division winning Texans.

The 2014 Colts were are much more palatable 13th.

More broadly the organization is dysfunctional.

Who is their backup?

Is it still Chade Henne? LMAO


Thats a team that should have invested either money, or a pick, in a solid backup QB
Henne is on the team but Brandon Allen is as well and the coaches and local media love him.

I agree that I think they should've won it in 2016 but you could also say that about the Titans, to be honest.

2015, though, the Jaguars kinda sucked and Bortles was actually not half bad because his receivers made plays on a lot of 50/50 balls. 2014 Bortles really had no chance because he really wasn't ready so I dont think you can hold that against him.
