It didn’t take long for Tom Coughlin to come out and say, “Blake Bortles is our quarterback” early in his tenure as executive vice president of football operations. It was a definitive statement that both put to rest a potential quarterback controversy and also put pressure and responsibility on the young signal caller.
That doesn’t mean that Bortles will be the team’s only quarterback, however. Chad Henne, longtime backup and occasional starter, may move on this offseason and it would behoove the Jacksonville Jaguars to give Bortles a little competition in 2017. Does that actually make the team “QB-needy” though?
