Yeah I was just looking at his stats overall this year and I agree, he did earn another shot. He got his YPA way up, and actually threw a few more 20+ yard passes than last year despite like 50 less attempts. We can't afford to sign a true upgrade like Cousins or our window will be shut after next year due to talent loss. I mean we would have a great chance at a SB with Cousins, but that 1 shot is all we get before we start losing major pieces of the defense to the cap.

A good team would be able to draft replacements before that happens, but I don't have that much faith in the Jags, and why should we let an excellent team fall apart for no reason. Bortles is young and could still take the step forward. I might even extend him now to try and cover for that possibility. If we can get him locked in at under 20 mil a year for the next couple of years, we have a much better shot of keeping the D together than with Kirk '30 million dollar' man.
