While everyone is waiting with bated breath to see who head coach Doug Marrone will trot out as the starting quarterback on Thursday night for the Jacksonville Jaguars preseason game against the Carolina Panthers (spoiler: it’s probably Chad Henne), the rest of the football world has taken this week to pile it on Blake Bortles.
The fall from grace of a guy who was once considered a top 60 player in the NFL by his peers is pretty astonishing. Even Jon Gruden, a notoriously uber-positive commentator and former coach, couldn’t hold back in his criticism of Bortles during last week’s broadcast.
