Except the angle of drafting a good QB, which everyone seems to think is impossible for some reason. 

We're talking about finding a guy in the late first or late second round potentially that just needs to be as good as, or better than Blake Bortles. This is not exactly the search for the Holy Grail.

Right. 

Which is what I hoped they'd do last year with a guy like Webb in the mid-rounds. Now I hope they take a QB early.

Exactly. Rodgers, Flacco and Bridgewater were taken at the bottom of round 1, Dalton, Garapolo and Carr round 2, Wilson round three, Kirk Cousins was a 4th rounder. Even McCarron, who all of us would have taken at the start of the season was round 5. We aren’t looking for Tom Brady (although it’s time for this franchise to have that kind of luck) but a guy who can offer what Blake does or better on a cheaper contract wouldn’t be so hard to find, in my opinion.
