Are the Jacksonville Jaguars in denial about Blake Bortles?

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed a handful of big names in free agency, opting to shop primarily on the high end of the defensive market. The result is the team now has what could be a dominant defense stacked with potential playmakers.

Negative Nancies however are quick to point out one problem with the current roster construction – the quarterback.

Yes, it appears Blake Bortles is going to be the starting quarterback of the Jaguars in 2017, but honestly what did anyone expect? There are no legitimate upgrades available in free agency (apologies to Jay Cutler, Mike Glennon, and the rest of the crop of middling passers) and pretending to bring someone in for a farcical quarterback competition wouldn’t fool anyone.
