Future of the quarterback position in Jacksonville at stake on Thursday night

After the 2015 season, it appeared the Jacksonville Jaguars had found the answer at quarterback. Even though the team only finished with 5 wins, the ascension of Blake Bortles in his second season was enough to buoy optimism heading into the 2016 season.

Now, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks Blake Bortles can be an effective starter, let alone an above average passer in the NFL.

Things have become grim in Jacksonville in regards to the quarterback. The team now has Bortles splitting first team reps with Chad Henne, a guy who gave up on being a starting quarterback almost 4 years ago when he signed with Jacksonville to be a backup.
