Blake Bortles

Jaguars not considering benching Blake Bortles

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not considering benching quarterback Blake Bortles, head coach Gus Bradley said Monday.

What It Means:

"I don't see anything in the future where Blake Bortles is not our guy," Bradley said Monday. To be fair, Bradley can't see that far in the future because he isn't long for it in Jacksonville. Bortles' game is in utter ruins right now, but the Jags have nothing to gain by inserting Chad Henne. Continued awful play will hurt Bortles' confidence, but so would benching him. It's a no-win situation for a team mired in another go-nowhere year.

Bortles earned 0.57 Net Expected Points on 49 passing attempts in Week 10, per numberFire Live.
