Which if he bombs I suppose could happen. I just don't see anyone trading for Bortles and I don't see us extending him.

I have a sinking feeling in my gut we're sticking with Bortles next year. Fed lines like "will be better 2nd year in Hack's system" "will be better with healthy WRs" etc etc...
I just hope regardless we draft a guy.

He’s not locked in to get anything at this point. Barring an injury that would not allow him to pass a physical, the Jags could release him outright and suddenly he’s hoping for a backup role somewhere.  

Bortles won’t be the starter here next year unless he carries this team to a title. Even then, it’s probably a 50/50 thing.

The option is guaranteed starting the first day of the league year. Yeah we could cut him. But he has no reason to take a lesser deal. Pay me 19 mil or cut me.
Sure it's a gamble on his part, but on the market he'll still get 10 mil... I'd say the 9 mil is worth the gamble, if I'm him.

I don't see a sure-fire starting rookie QB being drafted outside the top 20.
And I personally would hate to throw a bunch of money at a FA that comes in a stinks it up.
