Jaguars fans are already booing Bortles' throws

Andrew Joseph | For The Win

Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is heading into his fourth NFL season, and Jaguars fans are growing impatient after the quarterback regressed in Year 3.

He didn't exactly impress the home fans on Thursday.

Bortles was given extended time to work with his first-team offense in Thursday's preseason game against the Buccaneers. He went 8 of 13 passing for 65 yards, but when he missed his receiver, he really missed his receiver.

In the second quarter, Bortles woefully missed a wide-open Allen Robinson, drawing boos from the crowd at EverBank Field.

About right.

Blake Bortles: "Twins right, 72 all-go on 2 on 2, Allen get open and I'll hit ya, ready break!!"

It wouldn't get any better either. Bortles missed Robinson … again!

Bortles played for nearly the entire first half (Chad Henne took over in the final drive of the half), and the Jaguars were not able to get any points against the Bucs' top defensive unit. Even when Bortles was completing passes, he was narrowly avoiding disaster.

It's just preseason, and the heat is already on Bortles.
