For what it matters... y'all have the potentially best young QB in the NFL.... honestly I thought y'all were going to give up on him...... I'm a Texans fan but y'all have potential Now
Fuck yeah! That show was hilarious. I was never into sitcoms aside for "Friends" and "Scrubs" when i was in high-school and then college, but during the 2020 lock-down - i tried watching a bunch of different shows to give a chance. And that show, "Schitts Creek," and "It's Always Sunny" blew me away and binged them all. And yeah, the Blake Bortles joke was hilarious
Think of the good (?) news... your team just made Laurence the highest paid player in NFL history ❤.... sorry... All joking aside he's what...24... still has a very high ceiling.... but there's a team in SE Texas that may stand in your way.... Peace
For a guy getting sacked so much, he hung in there. Like Andrew Luck, eventually the injuries pile up and the stats begin to fall. Bortles didn't get a fair shot but he made the most of what he got, considering the circumstances. I was a fan of him, I hate seeing guys with big ups get beat on and wasted on teams with crap coaches, crap players and crap owners. That's not exactly fertile ground.
I really enjoy this channel. I love the energy you bring to your content and all the subject matter you cover. My ex wanted to be an anchor on sportscenter and that’s what caught my attention and got me closer to her.
I have to say I watched a Jameis Winston video of yours just because I’m a Bucs fan and you are probably one of the best content creators in this field. Good job I know everything about Tampa Bay and I learned stuff from your video. Subscribed for sure.
I ran across your channel yesterday because of your rosen video and have to say I absolutely love your channel. Can't wait for future videos. And can't wait possibly a sam Bradford video in the future as well
when his career was cut short after 6 seasons, he had a 6.2 yard per carry, which would place him 4th all time, although he doesn't have enough attempts to qualify, because they fired him.
@@j.s.friedman9649 So I see you're sticking with the narrative that Bortles was the reason they had success that year. No, it was mostly the defense, the Historical Sacksonville. That season Bortles had his lowest career stats since his rookie year, meaning the less he did the better the team was. The defense didn't have to cover as many of his mistakes which enabled them to perform at a high level. It was quite evident Bortles sucked when had a complete melt down the following season and was essentially fired midway into the first year of his new extension. "One quarter away from the Super Bowl" is like all those Wentz fans who won't stop saying "he almost won an MVP". And the tons of money part, that's what happens when someone is overpaid. Should not have been a first round pick let alone #3 overall.
He didn't have a complete breakdown after that season, he was incredibly consistent and that year was no different than any year. In fact, like any quarterback he needed a good team to support him that's all. I admit he had a total breakdown in the 4th quarter of the championship game, but that's what's sports psychologists are for. What he's capable is the perfect game against Pittsburg to get to the championship game 357 yrds passing in the air. Bortles was there when they had terrible teams, as soon as some young stud good defense came along he nearly took them to the superbowl @@clarkkent1521
I was at that Colts game where he played his first snap. People were booing the team and when he came in, at some point in the drive, he threw a bomb and the stadium went nuts.
The blake bortles era was definitely a roller coaster time and both fun and distressing to watch. And while i rooted real hard for Blake, i also knew that he wasnt gonna be the future. And i kind of hated that the jags didnt pursue a cheaper QB (IE anyone not named Kirk Cousins) in the 2018 FA.... like maybe Alex Smith, whose style of play complemented very well with what the jaguars wanted to do. Of course, had alex smith came here and did what he did with Washington, the jags might not be sitting where they are today with a potential superstar qb. And we might have missed out on Minshew Mania and that would have been a shame.
I know it's a Blake Bortles story but you could have mentioned in the championship game against the Patriots that the Jaguars forced a fumble that was about to be ran back for a TD to seal the game before the play was ruled not a fumble by the refs. Replay showed it was in fact a fumble and the Jags got the ball back but they had six points stolen from them. Blake didn't come through but that game was over if the refs don't blow the whistle.
So a Better Version of Trent Dilfer just without the Superbowl Win, your in your Element with These Quick Comedic insights at Untold Stories around the NFL
Great video Lauren you know your details it’s crazy to think about how he went from the afc championship game to being cut unreal I think they have him a lot of disrespect looking ahead to the jaguars future I think they can win a Super Bowl with Trevor Lawrence in the next few years.
Loved the time that BB5 was in charge, especially the 2017 season. That was just such a fun season to watch until we got robbed. The #MJWD play will always sting, like 1999, but I'm ecstatic that we had the season we did last year, and hoping that it doesn't turn into 2017 2.0. But with T-Law, Dougie P, our receiving core, Engram, and a very solid D, I would be very shocked if we have a regression on that caliber.
The defense was in charge. 2017 was the year Bortles did the least, having career low stats since his rookie year. The less he did the better the team was.
That 2018 season was NOT helped very much though with Tom Coughlin being a literal piece of garbage. He may have had a good career as a coach before, but he WAS THE REASON the Jaguars do so badly and fell apart in the 2018 season. He definitely is up there with some of the worst GMs in NFL history. Just because he had a good draft and made a good team for 2017 doesn't mean he isn't held accountable for his childish policies and temper tantrums that derailed the Jaguars in 2018. It took 3 damn years to clean up after the mess he left for us and rewrite this culture he ruined in the locker room.
Lauren this is the first video I’ve seen from your channel, you’re pretty good. At least now Jacksonville finally is heading in the right direction again, but this time around it’s looking like they’re here to stay. As a Patriots fan, it was almost like Karma in a way that they lost to the Eagles in the Super Bowl considering some of the officiating that I’ll have to admit wasn’t on an even playing field. Crazy that now in 2023 the Patriots future isn’t looking that great while the Jaguars have one of the brightest futures ahead. Trevor Lawrence definitely looks like he could lead Jacksonville to a Super Bowl eventually
I was rooting for Bortles to make good in the NFL as I enjoyed watching him play at UCF. But no rookie has been successful with a poor OL and don't seem to reverse their career.
I’ll always hate on the Jags for eliminating my Steelers in that divisional round, but gotta respect their D. That was the rise of Jalen Ramsey. It’s sad to know that only if the Steelers had won that game, they would’ve gone the next week and crush the Pats, and probably destroyed the Eagles in the SB too…I mean stopping the Killer B’s back then was like trying to stop the rain with your hands.
Nah as much as i hate the patriots big ben always played them like they had a gun to his families head. They woulda got slaughtered Also nick foles was on his bullshit i dont think anyone but philly wins that
I'm a 3rd generation life long lions fan. I wanted hendon hooker even before the injury. But with the ACL or Achilles tear it's almost better. He was a 3rd round pick and fans can't demand he play this year. It's becoming a luxury for a rookie QB to sit and learn for even a single year
Who else remembers reveling the beat down of the Steelers and Leveon Bell in the AFC championship game. I will admit though that was the game as a jags fan I was sick of Ramsey's big mouth and no longer liked him.
Jags got royally screwed against the Patriots. The refs only called 1 foul against the Patriots that whole game. While they couldn't stop throwing flags for the Jags. Not to mention the no calls.
Pats whole run in the playoff that years was rigged. No way a teams only get 1 penalty in 3 games post season straight meanwhile the other teams have like almost 10 penalty. Also, Tennessee was rob by a wtf False start called on defense on the Specials Teams play that I never ever experienced and see before. That give pats the automatic first down and that ended titans season.
Bortles after his 2nd season worked with a qb coach to shorten up his throwing motion due to all the His he was taking he wanted to get the ball out faster.... it wound up completely ruining him lol
HA!!! As a Bills fan, I can say without a doubt, this game set football back 50 years!!!! It was a TERRIBLE game and the score shows it!!! 10 to frekin' 6!!!
One important thing that gets glossed over often is that a lot of those franchise record breaking numbers that he piled up during the 2015 season were accumulated during garbage time. Loved Bortles, but he could only play well when things were smooth sailing… aka playing second fiddle to one of the best defenses ever in 2017.
He wouldn't be able to do anything with it. Defense is clearly what made them successful in 2017 and defense is the only way Bortles could succeed. That is the same year Bortles had the lowest stats of his career since being a rookie. The less Bortles did the better the team was.
I thank God Trevor is our QB now, but I've never wanted a player to be good as badly as I wanted Blake to be good.
If Blake has better mechanics he could have been way better. I look forward to seeing how good Trevor can be.
For what it matters... y'all have the potentially best young QB in the NFL.... honestly I thought y'all were going to give up on him...... I'm a Texans fan but y'all have potential Now
Well as for Blake he had a bad line …and took hella sacks can’t really blame dude
I'm not even a jags fan, but I completely agree.. Blake seemed like a great dude I always wished he brought it together on the field
Trevor is our guy!
The best thing he ever did was provide The Good Place with a long running joke. Jason's love for Blake Bortles was endearing AF.
I will yell BORTLES! while throwing random items for the rest of my life.
Fuck yeah! That show was hilarious. I was never into sitcoms aside for "Friends" and "Scrubs" when i was in high-school and then college, but during the 2020 lock-down - i tried watching a bunch of different shows to give a chance. And that show, "Schitts Creek," and "It's Always Sunny" blew me away and binged them all. And yeah, the Blake Bortles joke was hilarious
Blake Bortles will live on eternal in the good place
Really digging these long form videos of late! Love the way you edit it to still make it feel quick and snappy!
i live in Jacksonville, didn't want to relive this thanks😂
Think of the good (?) news... your team just made Laurence the highest paid player in NFL history ❤.... sorry... All joking aside he's what...24... still has a very high ceiling.... but there's a team in SE Texas that may stand in your way.... Peace
Myles Jack wasn’t down
The main thing I know him for is Jason from The Good Place yelling "Bortles!" when he threw things and his undying love for Bortles
And when you say threw "things", you mean things like Molotov cocktails.
@@lw1391 Precisely
Even crazier that the Jags defense fell apart pretty quickly thereafter.
It's the Jaguars year! Appreciate your time here Blake!
Yeahhh about that
Love this video. Live in Jacksonville and been a lifelong Jags fan. 2017 was a fun season.
Just checked out your take on Rosen, I like your delivery, keep it up! Now on to this one and subbed up 😊
This realy is one example that anything csn happen at sny time so enjoy n cherish the moments
Big facts
Sad That Jason Mendoza never got to see his man Blake Bortles win the big one 😢
Long live the Boat!
Not gonna mention the “Myles Jack Wasn’t Down” TD that would’ve put the Jags up 17
Great video Lauren. The breakdown videos are really enjoyable
I want them 02's back.
For a guy getting sacked so much, he hung in there. Like Andrew Luck, eventually the injuries pile up and the stats begin to fall.

My son was born the night the jaguars played (and lost) the AFC championship game but I wasn’t mad about it. Still myles jack wasn’t down!!

I'm convinced Jason Mendoza from The Good Place willed the Jaguars into being good the year they almost made the Superbowl.
when his career was cut short after 6 seasons, he had a 6.2 yard per carry, which would place him 4th all time, although he doesn't have enough attempts to qualify, because they fired him.
Cut short? No, his career was longer than it should have been.
Your talking about someone who was 1 quarter away from getting to the super bowl, which is more than qbs who make tons of money.
@@j.s.friedman9649 So I see you're sticking with the narrative that Bortles was the reason they had success that year. No, it was mostly the defense, the Historical Sacksonville.

This channel is dope.
Thank you
Love your videos keep it up sending my good thoughts from down here in Australia
Love the Bortles references in The Good Place 😂
You missed all the terrible calls on that championship game
I was at that Colts game where he played his first snap. People were booing the team and when he came in, at some point in the drive, he threw a bomb and the stadium went nuts.
The blake bortles era was definitely a roller coaster time and both fun and distressing to watch.
And while i rooted real hard for Blake, i also knew that he wasnt gonna be the future.

Ah yes, the Tragedy of Sackson Abbeys Lord Bortles.
AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WAS RIGGED AF. made me quit watching for 2 years. Made me actually sick.
I always thought “Blake Bortles” sounded like the name of a hobbit in a Tolkien novel.
0:36 I had to sub after that 😂😂
Despite all the up and downs and misfortunes, the one thing everyone can agree on is that Blake Bortles had a beautiful heart.
“The boat the goat” 😂😂
😂
Great job with your videos!

Amazing video, very very good story.
Thanks from Mexico :)
The Bort man! Yeah he got molded all right! 11:30 great flashback!
You nailed it. Not really his fault. He got screwed by Jacksonville. They rushed him. He never got the confidence he needed.
Nah he just mid
The dude couldn't throw, literally. He still had to go to offseason QB camp in his third year to learn how to spiral.
Imagine having T Law in those Sacksonville days😊😊😊😅😂🎉🎉
the could have won the Super Bowl then imo!
Love your videos
I mean Mark Sanchez went to two straight AFC championship games....u know the funny thing....both teams had below average QBs with amazing defenses
Sanchez made double the AFC championship games, beating Manning on the way to one and Brady on the way to the other.
Great video Lauren you know your details it’s crazy to think about how he went from the afc championship game to being cut unreal I think they have him a lot of disrespect looking ahead to the jaguars future I think they can win a Super Bowl with Trevor Lawrence in the next few years.
Great video. Thank you.
He was Not down... Still Hurts...
Goat Boat slander WILL NOT be tolerated
🛥🚢⛴️🛳🚤⛵️
🐆🐆🐆
I like these deep dive videos on QBs really good stuff I'd like to see one on Cam Newton and Carson Wentz
Loved the time that BB5 was in charge, especially the 2017 season. That was just such a fun season to watch until we got robbed. The #MJWD play will always sting, like 1999, but I'm ecstatic that we had the season we did last year, and hoping that it doesn't turn into 2017 2.0.

The defense was in charge. 2017 was the year Bortles did the least, having career low stats since his rookie year. The less he did the better the team was.
If Leonard Fournett would of caught that pass we would of went to the Super Bowl.
That 2018 season was NOT helped very much though with Tom Coughlin being a literal piece of garbage.

Gotta go Minshew then Trevor next. To finish the Jaguars QB Trilogy
That Jags Vs Titans was my first nfl game
She made me go back and watch the 88 yard rush playoff game 😅😅
Lauren this is the first video I’ve seen from your channel, you’re pretty good.

Amazing videos Lauren, l got Patrick Mahomes on my fantasy football team this year
I'm enjoying Katie Nolan's new RUclips channel.😂😂😂
He should've been a sb qb. Miles Jack wasn't down...
That’s another W video Lauren!
Long live the BOAT, one of the quarterbacks of all time
What's BOAT?
You fans are the reason the team kept him so long and set the franchise back several years.
Really awesome commentary and football insight going to be the next Aaron Andrews even better
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment!!!
I was rooting for Bortles to make good in the NFL as I enjoyed watching him play at UCF.
But no rookie has been successful with a poor OL and don't seem to reverse their career.
The Jags should go back to those jerseys. I came so close to buying one but they changed them
I’ll always hate on the Jags for eliminating my Steelers in that divisional round, but gotta respect their D. That was the rise of Jalen Ramsey. It’s sad to know that only if the Steelers had won that game, they would’ve gone the next week and crush the Pats, and probably destroyed the Eagles in the SB too…I mean stopping the Killer B’s back then was like trying to stop the rain with your hands.
They wouldn’t have beat the patriots
The patriots owned the Steelers when the had Brady
Nah as much as i hate the patriots big ben always played them like they had a gun to his families head. They woulda got slaughtered
Also nick foles was on his bullshit i dont think anyone but philly wins that
Myles Jack wasn't down!!!
Found a new YT! Lesssgooooo
Good video
It was my Second year following the league, when I decided to root for a Second team. A underdog. It. Was the Jags. It was the year of the Boat!
Somehow you forgot to mention if he was allowed to keep playing, he would have set records for running yards and yards per carry.
Come on. Where is the “ The Good Place “ shout out. .
& Rise again by just being the coolest guy on the planet. Long live the BOAT!
I'm a 3rd generation life long lions fan. I wanted hendon hooker even before the injury. But with the ACL or Achilles tear it's almost better. He was a 3rd round pick and fans can't demand he play this year. It's becoming a luxury for a rookie QB to sit and learn for even a single year
You definitely will do a better job then most of them women working as sport analysis on ESPN!!❤️💯
Who else remembers reveling the beat down of the Steelers and Leveon Bell in the AFC championship game. I will admit though that was the game as a jags fan I was sick of Ramsey's big mouth and no longer liked him.
How is Blaine Gabbert still in the league and Bortles is not!??
Jags got royally screwed against the Patriots. The refs only called 1 foul against the Patriots that whole game. While they couldn't stop throwing flags for the Jags. Not to mention the no calls.
Pats whole run in the playoff that years was rigged. No way a teams only get 1 penalty in 3 games post season straight meanwhile the other teams have like almost 10 penalty.

Cry harder
I remember getting him in my fantasy as backup QB that year, he was money…got him again next year….🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Should have drafted Money Manziel
I was at UCF with Blake. I was so happy when he got drafted and wanted him to be great so badly. Sad his career didn’t pan out. The Jags ruined him.
Bortles sucked. I really can't understand why people won''t admit that.
Awesome!!
This is a sad story, i feel bad for him
Jack wasn't down
Bortles after his 2nd season worked with a qb coach to shorten up his throwing motion due to all the His he was taking he wanted to get the ball out faster.... it wound up completely ruining him lol
HA!!! As a Bills fan, I can say without a doubt, this game set football back 50 years!!!! It was a TERRIBLE game and the score shows it!!! 10 to frekin' 6!!!
When you say scrambling for your life, yea your right, Bortles never missed a game from being injured-- failed to mention that one too I see.
One important thing that gets glossed over often is that a lot of those franchise record breaking numbers that he piled up during the 2015 season were accumulated during garbage time. Loved Bortles, but he could only play well when things were smooth sailing… aka playing second fiddle to one of the best defenses ever in 2017.
You forgot to mention that he is a two time Blake of the year winner
Miles Jack wasn't down
Pretty good video BUT please take it easy with all the sound effects. Just my humble opinion.
Man the jags were only 10-6 in 2018? The way that team was spoken about before I swear they went 13-3 lol
I really wanted hin to win against the Pats that year. But other than that, he felt like like two legs and two arm with just as many brain cells 😅
Blake Bortles looks like Will Farrell doing a QB character.
It’s unfortunate that the Jags didn’t build the offence around Bortles
He wouldn't be able to do anything with it. Defense is clearly what made them successful in 2017 and defense is the only way Bortles could succeed. That is the same year Bortles had the lowest stats of his career since being a rookie. The less Bortles did the better the team was.
how long until they are the London Jaguars???
The famous question should also be can he take hits? It is more then a physical sport!
long history of developing star qbs.. i could feel the knife dig. lol
I hate that the Jags are usually trash, because those jerseys are so fire.
