For better or worse, the Jacksonville Jaguars are staying the course when it comes to their starting quarterback.
Jaguars coach Doug Marrone officially named Blake Bortles the team’s Week 1 starter Saturday morning, temporarily quieting speculation that backup quarterback Chad Henne will usurp him to open the season.

Speculation was rampant that a quarterback change was coming when Henne, not Bortles, got the nod in the team’s third preseason game. It turned out to mean nothing. Bortles has been extremely unimpressive, but Jacksonville is going to give him one last chance.
