Ranking top 6 quarterbacks in Jaguars history
By Ryan Heckman
3. Blake Bortles
This is where it gets tough, because Blake Bortles owns a couple of Jaguars records. Bortles has the record for the most yards (4,428) and touchdowns (35) in a season in Jaguars history. For those who owned him in a fantasy football league back in that 2015 campaign, he might have helped win you a championship. After all, he finished as the no. 4 overall fantasy quarterback that year.
Bortles does sit second all-time on the team's passing leaderboard with 17,646 yards. He is also second in touchdown passes with 103. However, Bortles could get pretty reckless with the football at times. He finished with a record of 24-49, which is what ultimately spelled him getting thrown right here at no. 3 behind the next guy.
To best sum up Bortles as a quarterback, one should know that in the same season he threw for both Jaguars records, he also led the league in interceptions with 18 that year. Fun fact: after that season, Bortles was voted into the NFL Top 100, coming in at no. 56 overall, which seems extremely high in hindsight, for a player of his caliber.
After seeing his last NFL action in 2019, Bortles took a couple of years to wait it out before ultimately retiring in 2022.
