This team cannot afford to roll the dice on a rookie QB in this year's draft. Especially in the first round. I don't understand why people are so ready to bounce Bortles and move onto a rookie signal caller. It's just dumb. It's not even a lateral move. It's a downgrade at this point.

And as it's already been pointed out. We have other pressing needs right now. Bortles actually had pretty solid games in the play-offs earlier this year. He didn't cost us any of them. He protected the ball. And he made huge plays when the defense kept giving up huge plays. But as of right now we could still stand to add another solid guard into the line up. We could still stand to add a solid right tackle or tackle in general in case something happens to Robinson or Parnell again this year. We could use some help at LB with Paul now retired.

Then you have to consider depth and age and expiring contracts going into 2019. We may need to start restocking at DE and DT in the event they decide they don't want to keep guys like Fowler or Dareus. Yeldon and Grant were good in certain situations last year but given Fournette's injury history and nagging ankle I still think they could opt to go RB as early as RD2 if the value is there. It's just good insurance at that point. But this team seems to be all in with Bortles. So I fully expect them to continue to bolster the offense around him instead of looking to replace him.
