If cousins or whatever top options are gone, we could do a lot worse than tyrod.

Hopefully the logic inside the front office is a little more sound than this.

Just because the guy is an upgrade for Bortles, that doesn't mean we should pursue him.  I think the team should be aiming a little higher than picking the winner of the tallest midget competition.  Taylor may be marginally better at times than Bortles, but he's not a franchise guy, and that's what this team really needs to identify.  I seriously doubt they'd go out in free agency and overspend on a guy who is an upgrade to this football team on par with adding a cassette deck to a Yugo.

Yeah, if he came cheap I could see him being signed as a contingency guy, but I doubt he's ready to settle for that in his career anyway.

This coming off-season the Jaguars will be faced with three possibilities: rookie comes in drafted high, franchise guy like Cousins signed in free agency for big money, or a stop gap guy plays next year, whether that's Bortles or some other backup level guy.

I wouldn't see the point of overpaying for a guy that isn't at least as good as cousins.
