I've become comfortably numb.

Sadly, this has become mostly true of myself. I remember when I used to view Jags games with a since of excitement... but that was a long time ago, when we had a winning franchise. Now, I've come to just expect the worst. I hope for the best... though I've not much hope anymore.

As for Kap...
First off, he wasn't very good where he came from. He got benched for Blaine Gabbert for heavens sake! 

Secondly, Jacksonville is a military town; has been for a long, long time. We have a very high percentage of active duty military and veterans who live here. While it won't be 100% true of all of them, most of these folks would be deeply offended if Kap was brought here due to his disrespectful act of not standing during the national anthem. Maybe that wasn't the intent of the act, but that was certainly the result. A smarter person would've come up with a better way to air their views.

Why would any thinking owner or GM want a low production distraction on their team? Answer: they don't, which is why Kap ain't working. He simply isn't the answer for our situation.

So...what do we do then? At this point in the game it's pretty obvious that we should continue to ride the horse that got us here until it's time to put 'er down. Yes, I mean stick with Bortles until it's obvious to all that he can't do the job. When that happens, we've got Henne and Allen. That's our season... that's why Vega's has us at no better than 5.5 wins this season. I think that if there had been a truly better option available at draft time, we would've tried for it, but there wasn't. Next draft there should be some better picks available for quarterback.

It all rides on Bortles now.

Agreed. We all have our viewpoints. The Colin debate has been beaten up enough around here. From a business standpoint it's pretty evident as to why he's not been signed. He made his bed and now he has to live with that. 

Right now though it does appear to be another five to six win team just based on our situation at Quarterback. I've vented my frustrations enough on this topic. I'll still tune into the team. I'll still pop up around here like I usually do. 

Might end up making or buying a crying Jordan meme shirt with a Jaguar's logo on it saying "Duval till we die". 

Humor is always the best approach for subpar entertainment.
