Can Blake Bortles set records again in 2016?

No passing offense in the history of the Jacksonville Jaguars has been as good as the 2015 offense under second year quarterback Blake Bortles.

Bortles broke the franchise records for passing yards and passing touchdowns, previously held by quarterbacks Mark Brunell and David Garrard. Now, they both belong to Bortles and he can only build on those strong numbers.

The modern NFL is kind to young quarterbacks. It’s no longer completely uncommon to see a Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, or Jameis Winston come out and throw for 4000 yards as a rookie. Seeing Bortles top 4000 yards in his second season was remarkable primarily because of how terrible his rookie season was.
