If there's still more building to do on Offense, why is Bortles being blamed for literally everything (even when he's not even on the field)? This team is either a QB away, or it isn't. There's no in between.

If the Offense needs more building, then the QB shouldn't be fully blamed like he has been. If it's this current QB's fault, than whoever the new QB is should come in instantly and lead this team to at least 10 wins. Regardless of if he's a rookie, or a vet.

This team is in a very good/very bad position right now. It's not going to matter one bit who the QB is. A Rookie is going to get an awfully short leash and a Vet is going to get an even shorter leash. The amount of pressure that's going to be on any QB that joins this team is going to be so huge, it's going to be ridiculous. Especially with this bi-polar, flip-flopping fan base.
