The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t had a rich and storied history of elite quarterback play since their inception in 1995. Mark Brunell helped the franchise make some noise in the late 90’s, but he was never a top 10 QB statistically. David Garrard also led the team to the playoffs, but he was essentially a game manager with some mobility. Outside of those two, the Jaguars have had objectively bad quarterback play.
With that in mind, forgive fans (myself included) who wanted to anoint 2014 first round pick Blake Bortles as a franchise quarterback after a magnificent 2015 campaign.
