It’s important to recognize limitations in the NFL. Quarterback Blake Bortles was a sensation in 2015 for the Jacksonville Jaguars but one good year does not translate to being able to do it all.
Unfortunately, that’s pretty much exactly what the Jaguars are asking him to do.
In 2015, due to a lagging running game, the Jags asked Bortles to pass often. He threw the ball 606 times (sixth in the NFL) over 16 games, about 38 times per game. There were many big plays from those throws and the Jags offense appeared explosive because he and his receivers, most notably Allen Robinson, were connecting often.
