391 completions, 4310 yards, 27 touchdowns, 20 interceptions.
That is the possible season-ending stat line for quarterback Blake Bortles in 2016. It represents a severe regression compared to the impressive aerial attack he put together in 2015.
In 2015, Bortles had 355 completions, 4428 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions. His overall production balanced out the mistakes he often made. It was hoped he would grow away from those mistakes while still keeping his production high.
Through eight games, it’s clear that he hasn’t grown away from those mistakes. He is still making a significant number of them and he hasn’t been able to match his previous production.
