Blake Bortles came out impressively sharp in the first week of the 2015 preseason.
Given 30 snaps leading the offense, head coach Gus Bradley wanted to see Bortles come away with a touchdown before yanking him from the game. The decision was a wise one as Bortles put up impressive throws, showed great poise, and demonstrated the progress we had all been hearing so much about during the offseason.
It was exactly what the Jacksonville Jaguars hoped to see from the face of the franchise and it showed that Bortles could be so much more than his miserable 2014 stat line.
