Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars were tricked in 2017 into thinking Blake Bortles had potentially turned some kind of corner.

Bortles did show some of his top five draft potential throughout the 2017 season, one of the best in recent memory for the Jags, but all bets are off now with a team that has serious division title aspirations heading into the second half of the season with a 3-5 record.

Bortles is holding the Jaguars back, completing 60 percent of his passes (58.5 percent or less each of the last four weeks) for 2,021 yards and 10 touchdowns with eight interceptions. He’s taken 18 sacks so far this season and six fumbles.

The Jaguars might honestly be better off going with backup Cody Kessler at this point.

Seriously.

If the Jaguars aren’t sold on Kessler or Bortles, perhaps Bradford could be viewed as an option over the course of the remainder of the season.
