It may have taken almost 20 years for another Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback to even sniff 4000 yards, but Blake Bortles is poised to get past that mark.
With just 179 more yards and at the helm of a vaunted passing attack, Bortles is almost certainly going to move past 4000 and get closer to the 4367 yard that Mark Brunell put up in 1996. Brunell never again reached 4000 yards and successors Byron Leftwich, David Garrard, Blaine Gabbert, and Chad Henne never came much closer.
Bortles could be the first, in another franchise-record breaking season.
It may take a Herculean effort for Bortles and his talented receivers to get to the 4367 that Brunell posted with just two games remaining, but setting a franchise record for passing yards is definitely possible.
