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. 

What odds would you put it on not only picking the right QB, but having him developed enough to lead a super bowl push by year 2? I'm just doing ballpark research but in the last decade or so worth of drafts it looks like there are about 8 or 9 QBs drafted a year in the late 1st and after, and a little less than 1 franchise QB per draft. Some of the stronger ones like Jimmy G and Cousins didn't start until year 3 or later as well.

I think giving it a 10% chance is being awfully optimistic.

The problem with your logic is that you are stating that this second year QB has to "lead a super bowl push." 

Did Blake Bortles "lead the Jags" to the AFC championship game?

No.  He didn't.  The defense did the heavy lifting. Blake had about six good games, some middling performances and 3 or 4 bad games.  This team doesn't need to find the next Montana to supplant him. 

This team is currently built to win with a good quarterback. A great one is not required.
