Could they possibly trade for Tyrod Taylor.  Knowing picked up a new qb?  I know far fetched.  But just putting it out there.

Sign Kapernick. All i hear this coaching staff say is we are always looking to upgrade at every position. Well u can upgrade or at least give Blake real competion with Kapernick.

Jacksonville has a strong military presence and the Jags value their partnership with the military here. This isn't the market for Kapernick's politics.

Just picked up.

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

Yup.  1010XL is reporting they picked up the option.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The Jaguars have picked up Bortles' 5th year option.  I knew they would.  There must be confidence in the building, and that includes Tom.

<p class="">The <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/Jaguars'>@<b>Jaguars</b></a> have picked up Blake Bortles' 5th-year option, per league source. Provides Jags financial flexibility in '17 & '18. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/ASJax?src=hash'>#<b>ASJax</b></a>

It is no big deal. If he plays well he's under contract. If he doesn't he can still be released.

Pretty much expected, too after how the draft unfolded.

"You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud."

There's one of two things to read into why they waited until after the draft to do this.  They either wanted to feign interest in a QB to the rest of the league, or they did actually have interest in at least one of the QBs in the draft if he were available when they picked and he wasn't.

 

I still think letting him play for his NFL career this year would have been the wiser choice.  We have a catastrophe scenario now if Blake has a season ending injury in pre-season or early regular season play.

You knew they were going to pick up his option when they didn't draft a QB.  Thus if they didn't pick up his option, Bortles most likely would be gone after this year and his replacement would not be on the roster.

I'm guessing if Watson had fallen to the 2nd round we would have taken him.

Big fan of the move.

Could also be they took a good, hard, look and decided he wasn't a better option.

Good lord. Caldwell needs to go.

So if we don't like moves, we're blaming Dave and leaving Coughlin completely out of the mix?

 

Is that how the new blame game is going to work?

Possibly.  It also could have been the case if one of the 3 QBs taken in the first round would have lasted until the end of the 1st that they might have traded up at that point to get him.  I know very few here will buy this, but we don't know how much interest our front office might have had in Trubisky since he was gone before our 1st pick.  Heck, what if one of the teams the Bears were concerned about jumping them for Trubisky was us?

 

We'll never know though unless some photo of the draft board gets leaked like Dallas's did several years ago.

Absolutely. It's going to be, take your pick per the agenda for that moment. Should be fun; the Doug/Dave/Tom flip show.

Success is a journey, not a destination.  Go all out Mighty Jaguars.

Just picked up.

Yep was the only realistic option. People in denial about Blakes level compared to whats available.
