Believe it or not, some of us would enjoy seeing this through before worrying about the off-season. Does he need real competition next season? Absolutely!  But let the current run play out, instead of whining about the " Below average" (your words) quarterback play in every possible thread!

I meant to the people who said they would be happy with keeping Blake next year (or on a renegotiated multiple year deal) if he keeps playing like he has this year. Sure, we're all enjoying the moment right now but that's not what the people in this thread have been talking about nor what I was referring to.

First, we're saying we'd be happy with this Blake on a renegotiated deal AND additional competition through high draft or FA. No one is saying they'd be fine going into next season with the same exact QB situation. 

Second, there is reason to believe Bortles will continue developing now that he's receiving real coaching. From Gus, Fisch, to Olson, he was basically winging it his first 3 years. This year he actually looks to have improved on his 2015 campaign as expected. There's plenty to show he can continue to develop. Not everyone is a day 1 superstar, if Blake can even get there. 

Third, he's been without his #1 WR all year, his #2 for a few weeks now and we've faced some of the best pass defenses in the league. 

That's why we'd "be happy with keeping Blake"
