Blake Bortles Is Getting Destroyed On Twitter For Preseason Performance

Blake Bortles started the Jacksonville Jaguars second game of the 2017 preseason Thursday night and let’s just say it was not promising. The fourth-year quarterback looked horrendous against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as he finished 8-for-13 for 65 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. He also averaged just 5.0 yards per attempt.

It wasn’t just the numbers that made things so bad. Bortles made so many awful throws, missed on easy reads and connections that it was truly shocking he’s actually a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Naturally, Twitter was all over him. Here’s just a sampling:

I don't want to overreact but Blake Bortles should be in prison.

Blake Bortles is that guy who begs his girl for one more chance, promising he'll change. Guess what? He ain't changing. #TBvsJAX

The Jags have talent. I love Coughlin and Marrone. They know. You can't play Blake Bortles. He sucks the life out of the Jaguars.

I don't think Blake Bortles is going to get a Big Bortles Brand off the ground.
