Bortles threw 18 interceptions last year, which is a lot. However, many games were placed squarely on his shoulders and something should be said about his willingness to take chances in the fourth quarter (the same thing many people have said about Eli Manning throughout his career). Twenty-six of his 35 interceptions occurred with the Jaguars trailing by eight points or more, and 26 came in either the second or fourth quarters -- so going for it won't be a problem moving forward. This season should definitively tell us which type of trajectory Bortles is on. We're sure the Jaguars would take a Manning-type ascension, which would mean cutting that interception number in half and increasing his completion percentage by a few points over the next two seasons.
