I don't see it happening anytime soon. He would have to throw back-to-back-to-back-to-back pick sixes in this game IMHO before Marrone decides to bench him. And even if he did bench him you know the post game would read something like "Marrone unsure who will start this Sunday, but we'll know more later on this week". By Wednesday Bortles is named the starter again.

The front office made their bed with Bortles earlier this off-season. It's done at this point. It is what it is for them and us as the fan base. We're going to gamble on him. No matter what happens just get comfortable watching college QB's on Saturday's this year. I've been keeping an eye on the big games. Oklahoma and Ohio St. put on a great game last night.

Baker Mayfield is worth a look. He did great last night. Very impressed with the kid. He's exciting, tough (took some big licks in that game, kept getting up) and he keeps that team fired up and inspired. There's a lot to like about that kid. I would also keep an eye out on Lamar Jackson, Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold too.

This is going to be a good year of college football because of the great QB play right now out there. We're bound to get lucky and land one of those kids at some point in 2018. 2018 might have the potential first round quality turnout that 2004 had with Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers. If we can land Jackson, Mayfield, Rosen or Donald this team should be better.
