In 2015 he was going into his 2nd year and there wasn't really a need to draft a QB high, or go after a high profile FA when Bortles was only going into his 2nd year. That would have been an awful situation and do nothing but cause distractions. I could just see the headlines.. "Wow the Jags drafted X QB, or signed X QB. They obviously must not have a lot of faith in Bortles, who's only going into his 2nd season."

Going into his 3rd year in 2016, he was coming off of what looked like a very promising year. All the talk was about us finally having our Franchise QB and it looked like we did. The QB position looked to be set for the foreseeable future. Would have been stupid to go after a QB after how promising Bortles looked in 2015.

This off season is the season they could have really went after another QB. The problem is, you don't just go after somebody because you think you need to. There was literally nothing out there that would be an upgrade from Bortles. Nobody wants Henne on the field, but Henne is better than anybody who was in this past draft and anybody who was a FA. Bortles is obviously better than Henne.

It's easy to say that they have to try anything, just do something. That's far easier said then done though. Are you talking about teams being in the same situation as us this off season and improving? If so, every team improves on paper, in the off season. It doesn't really mean anything at this point in time. We wont know which teams improved and which teams got worse until the bullets really start flying.

Not to even mention that they DID take a QB in the 2016 draft. The pats taking some QBs over the 16 years Tom Brady has been kicking butt has nothing to do with anything. If there's a good QB to take, go ahead and take him, but taking guys that won't contribute on a bad team doesn't help anything.
