Jaguars’ Blake Bortles compares fans complaining about the play calling to kindergartners.
When you’re the starting quarterback of an NFL franchise, and a high draft pick who is expected to lead the team for years to come, it is probably not a great idea to get into a war of words with fans.
After all, they buy tickets, merchandise and generally voice their support or displeasure for the job you’re doing.
That didn’t stop Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles from firing back at fans who questioned the team’s play-calling under offensive coordinator Greg Olsen.

Surely that’s not going to go over well with fans and why should it? In Olsen’s defense, look what he’s trying to work with as he attempts to revive a franchise that has been living in the league’s basement for years.
Some Jacksonville fans are fond of Tim Tebow, does Bortles really want to instigate that group to begin that campaign again?
And it is it unfair for fans to question the play-calling when it isn’t generating wins? Seems like the one answer to all of this would just be for the Jaguars to get some W’s on the board.
