The Jacksonville Jaguars have a handful of reasons to be optimistic heading into the 2015 NFL season, none more prominent than second year quarterback Blake Bortles.
After a rough rookie season, Bortles has shown significant improvement during the preseason and looks like a quarterback in command of his offense. Bortles has looked comfortable and productive in Greg Olson’s scheme despite the absence of tight end Julius Thomas and wide receiver Marqise Lee, and without a very consistent running game.
The Jaguars appear to have some work to do on defense, particularly in the pass rush department, but the advent of a more productive offense should help keep the Jaguars in games.
