The company line has been and probably still is that Bortles will sit behind Chad Henne, but it could get interesting. Let's see how the duo perform the first couple of weeks of preseason.
Rookie Blake Bortles completed 9-of-13 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' Saturday live scrimmage.
One of Bortles' passes was dropped, and another batted down at the line. Beat writer Michael DiRocco believes the Jags "have to be encouraged" after Bortles demonstrated "poise and confidence" against the Jacksonville defense. Bortles' best throw went for 25 yards behind the coverage to Mike Brown down the left sideline. His TD went to UDFA TE D.J. Tialavea from three yards out.
