I have a hard time justifying 17.5 mil for a 20 td/10 int a year qb who stinks in close games. I would imagine blake would be a backup on a lot of teams, i cant fathom 17.5 million a year for a borderline backup. He would start for the broncos and browns. He should have been a backup here but we were in a pickle at qb. I hope we restructure him for much less than 17.5 a year and draft his replacement.

Ummm.. the market is the market. Terrible QBs get paid a ton because that's what the market says they are worth.

Ummmmmm... This is exactly my point. You don't pay mediocre 17 million +, tell me how those deals have worked out for those teams like Houston, Cleveland with the SAME QB, and Chicago. You don't pay that to average/trash QBs, you go back to the draft and save your cap for better players until you draft the right QB and then you lock him up. It doesn't have to be the next coming of Peyton Manning, but you certainly don't settle on Blake freaking Bortles. Teams willing to pay a guy like Bortles 17.5 million+ a year are usually terrible teams signing these Qbs out of desperation.
