Like it or not, Bortles IS Jacksonville.  Under appreciated, bring your lunch pail to work, bust your tail, show up hurt or sick, give it everything you got while most of those around you make fun of you, and no one values your worth.  Yup sounds exactly like Jacksonville.

Hurns and Ivory are most likely gone whether the Jags sign Kirk or keep Blake. Colvin is most likely gone too regardless of the QB position..

And next year? The Jags will either have to pay Blake big money or make a QB change. 

Blake is inconsistent and he needs to make major strides to earn a new contract.

Perhaps I should have been more clear.  Garoppolo just signed this contract:  http://bleacherreport.com/articles/27418...n-contract

Cousins is going to want similar money.  We have to resign our 2014 contributors not including Blake (Colvin and Robinson at this point) this year.  Next year we have the 2015 draft class which at this point is pretty much Fowler and Yeldon.  The following year is when things get really dicey when we have to resign the 2016 class (Ramsey, Jack and Ngakoue)  And that is just the draft classes, throw in the free agents that are major contributors and our dwindling salary cap space and we are looking at 2000 all over again.  With all that, is Cousins really that big of an upgrade?
