What is the best option if not Bortles?

I say we convince Byron Leftwich to come back.

Byron is too busy coaching the guy drafted ahead of him.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Unfortunately the best option is probably Henne or Allen until they draft the next one.
Not sure why we need another of these threads. We'll know SO much more about our QB situation in just a few weeks. All of this overreaction to Blake throwing picks in practice has become pretty ridiculous. You guys are taking the sheeple thing to a new low.

I'd vote none of the above if it were an option. Dude, this isn't Madden. You can't just plug a new QB in at this juncture and expect great results. In fact, the result WILL be worse because that QB needs time to learn the system, the language that goes with that system, his teammates (specifically his WRs, TEs, and OL), and his coaches. Teams don't hold OTAs, mini-camps, and training camps just for $***s and giggles. It's done to get players acclimated to upcoming season and the new additions to the team. The only way Plug-in-play has even a small chance to work is if the QB is already used to the style of play the offense runs and the language is somewhat similar. If not....that QBs gonna have a bad time. As for Henne and Allen, they are backups for a reason - they aren't proven to be as good as the starter. Out of all of this, Allen is the only QB that we don't know enough of. He's likely to be just another guy...but there's also a small possibility that he's the next Tom Brady. If Bortles has to be benched, it's best that we let Allen have a go at it to see if that really is the case. This way if that small possibility becomes reality, we can spend our first round pick elsewhere to an area that we need to improve (like TE – that unit doesn't look promising at all).

He consistently cannot get passed the 50 yard line in games that matter. He's Mr. "3 and out".

The year Brady got hurt, his team still went 11-5 with Matt freaking Cassel as the QB...
I vote no more threads about Bortles and deal with it. Take up knitting.

And my statement was that it's far more important to have Great coaches and a good all around team, which is proved by exactly what I said. Brady has had the benefit of having arguably the greatest Coach of all time and having a good team around him. Manning had a very good coach and some great players around him. Brady goes down and the team still wins 11 games.. That just shows that he isn't winning games all by himself, like you claim or want to believe. This isn't Basketball where one player can completely take over a game. Never has been and never will be. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

I'm just stating the facts. I'm leaving the political stuff out of it for a second. He's the only qb left that even seen the Super Bowl. He has shown he is capable of taking a team to the playoffs. But need I digress. This is all fantasy at this point in the season. Bortles will be the starter week 1 We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
I'd see what we have in Allen. If he's good we may have future trade bait. If he sucks we'll be in position to grab Darnold and fire Caldwell.
