If I had to rank the worst QB situations in the league it would be:

32 NY Jets (Petty, McCown, Hackenberg)
31 LA Rams (Goff, Mannion)
31 Cleveland (Kessler, Kizer, Osweiler)
30 San Francisco (Hoyer, Beathard, Barkley)
29 Jacksonville (Bortles, Henne, Allen)

I'm having a hard time throwing all the blame for Bortle's regression on Olson. I think the expectation was that Borltes had fixed his major mechanical flaws over the 2015 season that putting that much effort into the 2016 off-season. Bortles did mechanical work last off-season as all QB's do. Was it wrong not to go back to Tom House and his program, absolutely but it's such a hindsight thing to see? Thinking about guys that have done major mechanical work early in their careers (Rivers, Rodgers, Palmer, Dalton, Brady, Roethlisberger, Winston) It's almost a right of passage for NFL QB's to go to 3DQB).

Bortles has had chance after chance and this is the culminating change, right? I think the organization has been very fair and for the most part, so have the fans - Most are in agreement that he does deserve a chance. However when I look at Borltes skill set on top of his style of play - I see a player that we have to hide from defenses. Do you really want to ride with a QB that you have to constantly hold your breath on? Bortles is Tony Romo or Philip Rivers at his best and those guys only performed when it didn't matter at their best - I'm just not a fan of the style of play which is where I have a major issue. Bortles doesn't have (as of today) possess the Arm Talent (mechanically speaking) or decision-making functions of a Championship tier QB.

I'll give him a chance, I'll assume the FO didn't think any QB's were worth obtaining this offense but I have seen enough and I'd love to be wrong but I'm not going sugar-coat my thoughts in fears of someone calling me negative or a hater. It's just an honest evaluation and I don't want to see any player fail (especially ones wearing Black and Teal). I'm sure he's a wonderful human being with a soul and hopes and ambitions

In comparisons to the other positions, for example, the secondary - DC did what he thought was best each off-season. The Jags spent a ton on secondary including high picks. In a perfect world, Cyp would have obtained some coverage skills and became an elite SS but it didn't happen, Gratz didn't happen, House was wildly inconsistent - all those players were given opportunities just like Bortles will be. Caldwell has been aggressive and I much enjoy his aggressiveness and his ability to admit a mistake and move on from it. Joeckel was a bad pick, so he went out and signed Beachum and now trading for Albert while admitting a mistake on Thomas.

I can only assume that if Borltes loses his job then DC will be gone with him but I can't blame the strategy.
