Quarterback Blake Bortles will start again this week for Jaguars

In fact, it's not as if the Jacksonville Jaguars had no choice, but to try Blake Bortles again at the quarterback.

Bortles struggled for a few weeks and his coach Doug Marrone hit his break point Sunday in a 20-7 loss to the Houston Texans. He put Bortles on the bench, not that it helped much.

But what will the Jaguars do, turn to Cody Kessler full time? The Jaguars surprised few people by announcing that Bortles would start the next match of the Jaguars, to be held Sunday in London against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jaguars do not have an excellent QB option

The easy thing is to shout that the Jaguars need to put Bortles on the bench. The most difficult thing is to tell them who should replace Bortles.

Kessler has not been terrible as a rookie in a bad Cleveland Browns team in 2016, but he's limited. Very few people see Kessler as a quarterback capable of helping his team win a division title or AFC championship game. At least, Bortles did it. The Jaguars came close to the Super Bowl last season with Bortles at quarterback.

Blake Bortles is extremely streaked

It must always be emphasized that Bortles has good games. They are totally eclipsed by his bad games, which are generally terrible and they are clearly too numerous. But it's the same guy who threw for 376 yards and four touchdowns in a Week 2 win over the Patriots. He played three games at the end of last season, totaling 903 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions for a score of 128.6. He had 96.6 points in the last two games of the playoff Jaguars and the Patriots needed a miraculous comeback in the fourth quarter to win.

All this led the Jaguars to bring back Bortles for a new season as a starter. It seemed like a decent decision at first. Then the bottom has collapsed and the best hope left in Jacksonville is that Bortles finds the ephemeral magic he has had here and there during his career.
