The thing about Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is that you know what you’re getting from him — for the most part. He has some games where he can explode, but mainly he’s a below-average starter in the NFL.
Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com took that one step further, ranking the top 32 quarterbacks in the NFL and excluding Bortles altogether. Rosenthal even draws attention to it by saying “Players like Blake Bortles, Colin Kaepernick, A.J. McCarron and Mitchell Trubisky just missed the cut.”
Again, Bortles is not a top-tier, or maybe not even middle-tier quarterback when compared to others around the league, but to not include him on the list at all is ludicrous.
