- Blake Bortles Has Earned Trust of Executive VP, Tom Coughlin
Date: July 25th | 2018
When speaking recently on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Jacksonville Jaguars Executive VP, Tom Coughlin, had this to say of quarterback, Blake Bortles:
“He’s (Bortles) a tough, resilient son-of-a-gun” said Coughlin.
“I like the way he responds to adversity. He’s taken a lot of shots over the course of his very young career, but if you do realize anything about football, in the playoffs he played his best football, and we did not turn the ball over in the playoffs. That’s a rare, rare occasion. It gave ourselves every opportunity to win. We have an outstanding defense, (and) Blake plays right to the defense.”
Fantasy Spin
As LockedOnJaguars.com writer Zach Goodall notes, there was a lot of talk that Coughlin wasn’t confident in Bortles heading into last season. It seems that Bortles was able to change his mind as the Jaguars made a push into the playoffs. Bortles quietly finished as the overall QB13 last season in fantasy football according to fantasypros.com, which included four individual weeks as a top-5 quarterback. Last season was actually a step back after Bortles had finished as the QB9 in 2016 and QB4 in 2015. Bortles has a stacked set of wide receivers as well as a new red zone threat in Tight End, Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Constantly underrated for fantasy purposes, Bortles is a rock solid grab as your QB2 this season.
