Blake Bortles can show toughness by rebounding in 2017, securing place

Will two months working with 3DQB be enough to turn Blake Bortles back into an electric passer rather than the demoralizing regressed third-year starter the NFL world witnessed in 2016? That’s the question every Jacksonville Jaguars fan should be asking as the Jags ramp up their offseason free agency and draft searches.

It’s also a question that executive vice president for football operations Tom Coughlin is asking. Can Bortles actually turn things around.

In his pre-combine press conference, Coughlin singled out Bortles’ propensity for creating turnovers as something he has to improve on. Media outlets immediately jumped on this as Coughlin “tip-toeing” around a commitment to Bortles that he made when he first returned to Jacksonville.
