It’s often said that Blake Bortles is holding this Jacksonville Jaguars team back. Perhaps that is true, as I do believe better quarterback play would solidify this team as a playoff contender. But Bortles remains the guy in Jacksonville. And he has shown flashes of his potential this year against the Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts.
The real question I want to answer is if Bortles has improved from last year. He may not be there yet, but is he making strides?
The best way I can see to do that is to compare Bortles’ performance this year against the first seven games of last year.
