I'm prepared for a lot of lame jokes ITT like "the Jaguars would drive anyone to drink" etc but I heard from a friend who has some connections to a team's NFL beat writers that Bortles has a drinking problem.
I Googled ("does Blake Bortles have a drinking problem") to see if any other info was on the web and this popped up atop my Google search:

1st post in the linked thread:
"I've been on this board for a while and I have never made a thread based on a source so take that for what it is worth. A little birdie told me that Blake Bortles may be an alcoholic. This isn't based on someone being at the beach bars and seeing Blake Bortles wasted which many of us have heard reports of. This is first hand knowledge over a period of time. I don't want to give too much detail as I would like to keep the source from being outed. The source stated that almost (and to be clear, they did specifically state almost) every night, whether at the house or at the beach bars, Blake Bortles was getting wasted. This was the response after I asked how many drinks it was per day/night. The source did not know an exact count, but was clear on the "getting wasted" ALMOST every day/night. I don't like airing someone's dirty laundry as we all have skeletons in our closet and went back and forth on whether to make this thread. The reason I shared it though is this will be exposed at some point and we might as well come to terms with this now rather than later. Can I say 100% without a shadow of a doubt that this is true? No. But I can say I trust the person I'm getting this information from. I'm sure others will share stories as well and from my limited investigation which was basically talking to people who live at the beach, I got confirmation that this wasn't out of left field. Would any of us care if he was playing well? Probably not which speaks more to our selfishness and desperation of wanting a winning team, but we keep asking why is Blake regressing? This may explain why."
