AFC South Q&A: Will Blake Bortles ever become an elite quarterback?

Today's question: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles made huge strides in his second season, setting franchise records for attempts, completions, passing yards (4,428) and passing touchdowns (35). However, he also threw 18 interceptions and has 35 in two seasons. Is that just who he is and will that keep him from becoming an elite (or at least very good) quarterback?

Tania Ganguli, Houston Texans reporter: It doesn't have to be who he is. And that stat alone isn't necessarily an indicator of a quarterback's success. Don't forget, Peyton Manning threw at least 15 interceptions in each of his first five seasons.
