But if you think QB can't be upgraded on this team then you're delusional. They are handicapping this offense for Blake. Why are teams stacking the box and forcing Blake to throw? Do you think teams stack the box against Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Ryan or heck even Cam?

First off, they do stack the box versus Cam Newton and secondly, the stat box isnt an indictment on Blake more so than there's nobody on the outside wide receiver wise they need to fear overall. Last year they didn't stack the box at all because you still had Allen Robinson and teams respected him. So stop using the stack the Box  narrative to make your point about Blake when context is everything.

Last year we faced 8 men boxes a ton. We'd still see 8 men boxes this year even with Arob. That's how you defend against a team that plans to run as much as we do.

Outside of 2 guys who think Blake is the answer, just about everyone else believes he's gone next year because he hasn't been good enough.

Do you know what "A lot" actually means?

I'm not saying I'm a Blake believer but I do support him while he's the quarterback on this team. I think so many you just go overboard with your criticism of him and is not a foregone conclusion that he would not be here next year based on the circumstances of the team. Despite if any of us think he's worth the 19 million dollar option that number is low end in starting quarterback money which is the same amount of money that Mike Glennon, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Alex Smith, Ryan Tannehill , Tyrod Taylor, and Brock Osweiler had received from their team recently

Blake Bortles is not worth the 19 million option at all. Just because Glennon and Brock got awful contracts doesn't mean it's a good thing to do. All the rest of the QBs you named are a good deal better than Blake.
