Blake Bortles struggled last season. His first season in the league and the NFL treated him like the next David Carr, throwing him to the ground to the tune of 55 sacks (tops among all quarterbacks). We’ve assessed that this problem indicates a need for improvement from both Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line, but there is an underlying concern that should have us all worried: Bortles isn’t very good even when not facing pressure.
Now, this isn’t meant to be us jumping on Bortles while he is down. We here at B&T think he took his just lumps as a rookie and that he has the talent to become a good – maybe great!
