They can't run like Bortles, obviously, but they could absolutely throw drag after drag with a screen and dump off sprinkled in. They could also re-add some of the quick developing tight window stuff like slants that Bortles can't do.

Heck, McCown was even good in air yards last year with a receiving corps and oline that were worse than Bortles had. If we simply want a game manager there is very little evidence that McCown wouldn't be better (especially considering price)...except ya know, fandom bias.

Bortles isn't horrible, he's just too inconsistent...IDK if he loses focus sometimes or what his problem is, but I do believe if Caldwell and Coughlin thought there was a true upgrade out there, they would try or have tried to grab one...They won't pick up a stop gap one or 2 year plan QB, they want the long term answer and for the type of offense Marrone and Coughlin run, they don't need a high flying big time pass happy QB, they just need someone who can throw 15 yards or so accurately with the occasional down field throw
