Bortles is definitely not bad, y'all. As a Jags fan I'm critical as hell on this team and it's constant mediocrity but honest to God would start my franchise around Bortles if you told me I had to pick one young QB to build around.
He's got the second best rushing average outside of Rodgers, I believe only Rodgers, Brady and Dalton have more TD's thrown on the season so far (I think Bortles might actually be ahead of one of them after two TD's today. ), he's tough to bring down, corrected his throwing motion, footwork, protections, etc etc.
The pick 6's people look at only seem worse than they really are. People don't realize the guys he's throwing to (Hurns & Allen Robinson - Hurns undrafted) both came out of the same draft as he did. They are young and sometimes aren't on the same page which the defense clearly jump on. Those are also short stick routes that corners feed on. That's on playcalling.
The thing killing us is DEFENSE!!! It feels like we're stuck in this soft zone we can't do anything with. We're missing Fowler JR so we're just getting picked apart with no rush.
That's where the Bortles INT's come from. Playing behind and having to force it to make something happen.
