Putting all of the blame for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ struggles on quarterback Blake Bortles may not be entirely fair, but in the modern NFL a team is only as good as its quarterback. As far as quarterbacks go, Bortles hasn’t been great (to put it nicely) in 2016.
Bortles’ 59.2 completion percentage is a career high for him, but just 28th in the NFL this season. His 6.5 yards per attempt is similarly low, coming in 28th. He also has the fourth highest interception percentage, tossing a pick on three percent of attempts. This all combines for the 27th highest quarterback rating in the NFL at 80.
