Let's be fair...
No one becomes a star based on their performance in practice, so by the same token it seems unreasonable to dog someone due to one 'off' day. We don't know what the circumstances were around those turnovers either. Yes, Blake has a history of being a turnover machine so its understandable that when he has a day like this in practice that it feels too uncomfortably familiar for the fans. But lets try to keep rational about it; one bad practice isn't grounds to bench him and give up on the season before it has even started.

On the other hand...
If it should occur that Blake goes out the first couple of regular season games and stinks the place up, then it should be apparent that he isn't what we had hoped he would be and we still don't have a quarterback (as far as we know) who can lead us to the 'promised land'. If indeed that were to occur, then... yes, the 2017 season is indeed already over for us pretty much. I should also go on record as saying that if BB does continue to be a loser, then the consequences of it should fall on Dave and he should no longer be here; honestly, he isn't really needed now except to be an over paid 'go-fer' for Tom. 

A horrendously bad choice for both head coach (Gus Bradley) and the 'franchise quarterback' (Blake Bortles) would get the GM fired from most teams, I suspect. But it isn't the choices in themselves that seem so damaging (though they have been to be sure); rather, it's the reluctance to move on from them when it has become too obvious that they aren't working.

Are we at that point with Bortles? Well, we did ourselves no favor by not doing more to build up our O-line this past draft. So these first couple of regular season games are going to be critical for Bortles if he's ever going to be looked at again by any team as more than just a backup quarterback... maybe. We certainly didn't get anyone who could even 'push' Bortles in the way of competition. Henne is overpaid for what he provides, but Caldwell remains the main culprit in this situation in my opinion.

But who knows? Maybe we'll blow the competition away the first couple of games and Bortles will look like a prince. It's possible... theoretically.
