It's the right decision for now. If Bortles has a couple of back to back terrible performances in the early to mid part of the season it might be (and probably will be) the last time you ever see him on the field as a Jag.

Even the most pessimistic amongst us knows that the best case scenario for all involved is for Bortles to play well this year so we can make use of the 5th year option next year and continue evaluating him. I know that's not the most likely scenario though. Even if he plays poorly, we likely have too much overall talent to get us in position for a top 3 pick next year to get a guy that has a better chance of panning out than someone later in the draft.
