Blake Bortles toppled records, but needs to limit mistakes

It almost feels bad to rain on the parade for Blake Bortles after the massive improvement he showed in his sophomore season, but there’s clearly a number of spots where he can improve as a quarterback.

Breaking franchise passing records for passing yards (4428) and touchdowns (35), Bortles had an excellent season. He also nurtured two promising star wide receivers in Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, who both managed to pass 1000 yards, becoming the first wide receivers to do so for the Jags since Jimmy Smith in 2005.

But there’s always room for improvement and in the case of Blake Bortles, there are plenty of ways to improve.
