One of the callers asked what to do about Bortles because it's was clear to most of us that Marrone was worried that he would make a huge mistake. Pat Kerwin (a former GM) said that he would cut Blake, but offer him a non-guaranteed 2 year contract at $10M/yr. He would also try to trade and sign Alex Smith. While Smith isn't a top 10 QB, you guys probably win last week if he were your QB.

With the same guy who put up 0 points in the second half against the Titans at home in the WC game and blew a 21-3 halftime lead? I wouldn't bet on that.

I certainly see and understand where you're coming from and I'm no Smith fan by any means. I don't have Bortles' 2nd half stats, but it seemed like the Jags were playing not to lose. Run on 1st down. Run on 2nd down. Incomplete pass on 3rd and 8. That was the formula. Still, Smith would have been trusted to lead the team. He's much more efficient. You guys really need to look for another option.

BTW, Blake rushed twice for either 2 or -2 yards (I don't remember). He's a better runner than a passer. Why do think he didn't run more? Looked like he had some lanes...
