How do you feel about Bortles comment?
I mean, I know he's leading the league with int but it's a rookie trying to fill in and it's a tough job.
I don't think anyone is blaming Bortles in Jacksonville are they?
I like his comments. He knows he hasn't played well these past 2 games. They were easily his worst games of the season so far.
No, nobody is blaming him. Most everybody is behind him, because he's a 22 year old rookie who was raw coming out of college. He needs to make these mistakes now and then learn from them.
We all just want to see the sloppy INTs cleaned up. Hes had 4 pick sixes so far I believe. Which all were terrible throws that he can't try and force.
Hes had a couple where he threw it up for a 1 on 1 jump ball and the WR lost. No issue with taking a deep shot down field and the CB making a play.
A few times the WR costed him the INT, whether it was tipped, or the WR tripped right as Bortles threw it. Just bad luck INTs.
He's learning on the fly just like a lot of the other young guys he's playing with, so there has been a decent amount of miscommunications.
