In one breath people want to complain and say that all Bortles will ever be is a game manager, but then in the next breath they want to trade for a so called game manager in Alex Smith.  When I watch Alex Smith I don't see a game manager, I see a damn good quarterback.  He can make every throw that he needs to be able too.  Tom Brady is considered to be the best that has ever done it, but the majority of the New England offense consists of 7 yard quick throws. Brady is so effective because his football IQ is off the charts, and he doesn't make many mistakes.  I'm not saying that Blake is going to turn into Brady, but this team can do much worse.  Not to mention Blake is still extremely young, and still has the time/ability to take huge strides.
