Easier said than done. And even if you think Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins is an upgrade over Blake Bortles. The fact remains. Neither of those two have done anything better or significant in the post season in their respective careers. And Cousins is going to cost you big time salary wise so you won't be able to retain all of these great pieces as you've pointed out.

We've played ourselves out of a top slot to gain a rookie. And even if you did land a quality rookie it's rare they lead a team to a Superbowl. So it's a tough situation. I can just as easily throw it in your face and say that maybe had Blake Bortles had Allen Robinson all year that he's the difference in a lot of those 6 losses during the regular season and that Championship loss.

I mean. Do fans around here not realize that kid had virtually NOBODY at receiver this past season? Hurns? Off and on. Lee? Off and on and inconsistent with his hands. Robinson? GONE. Westbrook? Didn't come back until after week eight or week nine. Cole? Undrafted and came on hot late. Mickens? Undrafted and not even supposed to be in the receiving line up since he's on special teams.

Maybe the problem isn't Blake Bortles. Maybe it's the team just being young and not being able to stay healthy on offense. I've been bashing Blake Bortles now since 2016. And I was a huge critic going into 2017. I can't be tough on him anymore as a fan right now. Especially knowing we don't have an upgrade out there this off season.
