Jacksonville Jaguars: Examining the Blake Bortles and David Carr narrative

Coming out of college, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was breathlessly compared to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. After three seasons, an 11-34 record, and 140 sacks, the comparison has begun to shift to former Houston Texans quarterback David Carr.

While Bortles’ sacks are often brought up in conversation about why he struggles as a young quarterback, the comparison to Carr (not to be confused with his young brother and current Oakland Raiders sensation, Derek Carr) is not always talked about. But over at /r/jaguars, Reddit user /u/MisterFrear is hoping to change that.
