Blake Bortles the worst pick in franchise history?

Because the franchise overreached on Byron, they then overreached on Reggie (Dance baby Dance) Williams, and Matt "freaking" Jones just to prop up the 2003 pick of Leftwich. It is even worse you when you consider that Garrard, the QB that eventually beat him out and is the 2nd best QB in franchise history was already on the roster. Gabbert was the worst. He cost a 1st and 2nd round pick. Even Harvey didn't cost that much. Soward was the most useless, but he was the 29th pick and we didn't miss on any great players. Leftwich was a good QB and improving until his injury in 2005 ruined his career. That makes him far better than Gabbert, and (unfortunately) probably Bortles. You can't blame Reggie Williams and Matt Jones on the Leftwich pick. Both may have turned out better had Jimmy Smith not turned them on to cocaine (speculation there, but logical speculation). I was never impressed with Reggie Williams, but Mattloaf showed some real talent at first. Just because we had a QB doesn't mean that the Jags would have picked Roethlisberger or Rodgers had Leftwich not been here. None of the QB needy teams were willing to trade up for Roethlisberger, and Rodgers was passed over by many teams that needed a QB.
