That's what made AROB  (and Hurns in prior seasons) so effective and valuable to the passing game. Their ability to "contort" and catch passes that aren't thrown perfectly is a real benefit to Bortles. 

Bortles is back next season. I don't think there's an immediate plug and play upgrade to be had. The Jags have already come close to advancing to the Superbowl with BB at the helm. 

Draft a QB and let him develop behind Bortles. 

Next season will be pretty telling. The schedule looks much tougher next season (I know, good teams one season may not be good the next). If these teams are playing at a high level like this year, we'll definitely see how it's going with Bortles.

Titans X2 (lost both games to them this year)
Patriots 
Steelers 
Eagles
@Chiefs
@Bills
@Cowboys

If they look good getting through that, Bortles will be the guy moving forward (rightfully so).

I like the idea of drafting a QB if one worthy of a pick is there, but I don't want to see the Jaguars passing on guys like Linder, Telvin, Ngakoue, ARob, or Jack to take a flyer on a guy that they aren't convinced will develop. Picking QBs that turn out to be no ones doesn't help the team, but all the guys I just listed were drafted after the first round and they've had a major impact. Take great players, and if Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott or David Carr or Jimmy Garoppolo is there outside of the first round then take them, but don't reach on guys like Matt Barkley because you just want to take a guy regardless of whether he's just another guy that will never have a chance of being any good.
