Why not give henne or nassib a try, im sure they can hit on slats and posts just as good. Play consertive and let the running game and defense work.

Second, why not pick up V,jax, he could be our Arob replacement for the year. He's older but he can catch the ball in 50/50.

Thoughts.

The team will certainly be cautious with how much they turn Bortles loose on certain opponents.

They won't turn to the next QB in line until Bortles totally costs them the game in consecutive weeks. 

"Second"  If this front office starts signing 34 year old receivers I'll be the first one handing out torches and pitchforks at EverBank. That would be incredibly stupid.  Westbrook is coming back in a few weeks and most of the receiving issues are with the QB and not the receivers. (Yes I know Lee and Cole have ridiculous drop percentages at the moment, but it still is a smaller factor than the inaccuracy from the QB) 

What they need to do is figure out smarter ways (situations) to use Fournette without increasing his touches, involve Koyack and O'Shaughnessy more in the short passing game, and take a really long and hard look at ways to help the run defense.

They need to be much more deliberate about when and where they make these RB substitutions. 

I also think they should show pass (3WR) more often to keep the box cleaner. Especially when Westbrook is back. You can run successfully out of an "11" personnel grouping successfully if you can also complete a few passes from it.

This has been my biggest gripe so far with the team. Bortles needs someone other than the RB where he can safely check the ball down to and occasionally run a decent seam route and get separation. Marcedes isn't that person. Outside of his fluke game against Baltimore he has struggled to gain separation from the opposition most weeks. Getting Koyack and O'Shaughnessy involved more will only help our passing offense. I don't understand why the coaching staff seems to be reluctant to do this. If they lack the confidence in these two players then they need to explore the Free Agent wire. Gary Barnidge is still available. Assuming he's healthy, I have no doubt he could come in as a vet and make an immediate impact.
