He made some good ones too, but the bad ones have to be considered.  His accuracy was suspect enough that they limited him when near their own endzone. It's conservative but it's smart at the same time. What they should have done was mix it up more on first and second down with some easy stuff for Blake (fourth quarter)  and they didn't even do that. That was dumb. 

You have a much higher opinion of how well he played than I do, clearly.  I wish they would have turned him loose a bit more, but it was easy for me to see why they didn't feel confident doing it.

Bottmom line then, we both obviously realize the have zero faith in him by evidence of the plays called.  So they have to go out and get a QB they have confidence in, plain. And simple.  You will never beat the Pats playing safe and not trying to win.  Tom Coughlin knows what's up and I'm sure they will hear his opinion within the next few days

Yes.

They need a guy they can have faith in to open up the playbook and be aggressive. Bortles has been getting better. Maybe he gets to that point in the offseason, but it makes sense to bring in another guy as well. Whatever it takes to make the offense more effective. 

They can win with Blake, but it's going to take more smoke and mirrors than they could muster against NE today. It'll also take some better run blockers up front since they'll need to lean on the run with Blake behind center. 

Either he gets better enough to be trusted or they upgrade the position. I'm down with either, but I don't put this loss solely at the feet of the caches or Bortles. He played pretty well with the tools he has to work with - and they did pretty well with what they had to work with - but neither had a full tool box IMO.
