7 years agoJacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said he has a much better grasp and understanding of the offense this year compared to in 2017. "When we started last year, it was kind of an elementary level, in terms of ‘I’m hearing the play, I’m thinking about the footwork I have to take, the identification, trying to remember what routes guys are running and all that.’ Now, I think I’m kind of owning the offense and having a better understanding of it. Obviously, it is a continuous study and a continuous grind to continue to master it and stay on top of it, but I definitely feel more comfortable with it," Bortles said. The 26-year-old nearly led Jacksonville to their first ever trip to the Super Bowl last year, but he still threw for only 3,687 yards and 21 touchdowns during the regular season. He has better receivers around him, but the Jaguars remain a run-first team and Bortles is still more of a QB2 in fantasy circles.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
