Since the unceremonious departure of David Garrard, the Jacksonville Jaguars have been looking for an answer at quarterback. Chad Henne tried and failed to hold the position. Blaine Gabbert became a field smudge, struggling with broken confidence and an offensive line akin to Swiss cheese.
Like many of the Jaguars faithful, I was pleased with the drafting of Blake Bortles. Initially, he proved his high draft selection with solid play as a rookie, then a breakout 2015 season where he was well above the league average in both yards and touchdowns. 2016 was supposed to be another leap forward, but instead was a faceplant into fresh dung.
