I'm rooting for the guy, basically because he's a stand-up guy who takes the shots and the criticism without complaint.  He's also durable and athletic, and his teammates seem to like him.  But he's not a great QB.  

I think there's a chance he'll be our QB next year, but it depends on what's available and whether we are willing to pay the price for it.

He really is a great dude and alot of fun when he's on his game. He's tough as nails and think he'll be in the NFL for years and years. I could see him be a Josh McCown type that spots starts for multiple teams and has some success.  

I'm still on the boat about the pros and cons of him coming back next year. I wouldn't want to waste another year of this team, windows can close in the space of an offseason. Just depends how we attack the position.

I told you the past 4 seasons, the Jags were the #26-#32 scoring defense. This year we are #1 and now threatening for the #1 seed in the AFC. 

 One day you will get a clue.

 You said you talked to Bortles agent ( you didn't ) and Murray (you didn't ).

 I never said those things ever. Not once. Try reading comprehension. Everything I was told was through a third party. Jags were very interested in Latavius through Coughlin talking to his friend George O'Leary. Jags didn't feel comfortable offering him much money coming off an injury. Big deal.

 Jags aren't drafting a high QB. That's a guarantee.

OK Mrs. Bortles.

I see you just want to argue... so let's argue.
You don't know what will happen in next week, much less in April or May. So your guarantee ain't worth 2 dead flies.
Also... I said the more the season goes on the more I can see Bortles being here and them drafting what I would consider "insurance" in the 2nd or 3rd. We're no so devoid of talent anymore that we'd expect a 2nd or 3rd rounder to necessarily be an immediate starter. We could still address OL or WR or TE in round 1 and 3 (if QB goes round 2).

However... it's still very possible that with Bortles big cap hit and the mounting injuries to OL and WR that we might have to shell out some CAP ched to make those positions fluid or improve... If TC and/or Dave REALLY like Baker or Mason or Rosen... I could see them making that move too.

But I won't guarantee anything... cuz I'm not an idiot.

  

   Bortles is the best QB in the division this year without a #1 WR and with a so/so OL. Go ahead....eat crow.
