Blake Bortles must perform under pressure in 2016

Despite what some advanced metrics folks would lead you to believe, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a good quarterback. Blake Bortles was statistically awful as a rookie in 2014, but he made significant improvements in numerous aspects in 2015. He was helped by the emergence of two stud wide receivers in Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, but Bortles clearly played faster and made better decisions last year.

Sure, Bortles needs to work on cutting down on the interceptions and getting his completion percentage up, but it’s hard not to be bullish on the former number 3 overall pick.
