He has to be our starting QB at least through 2020, because next year's QB crop is pitiful and there will be no help via free agency either.

Yeah I think next years QBs crop leaves a lot to be desired when one of the top dudes coming out will be Will Grier, Lock, and Herbert. Stidham might actually be the best, if he declares.
These guys will likely be 1st rounders that need a lot of work to be NFL "ready".
I hate the idea of drafting a QB high in the first round if he needs a lot of work.... (I'm lookin at you Caldwell lol)

Now that this team (and fanbase) has invested so much in Bortles I hope more people start to support our far from perfect QB as he is ours and the other options (draft) don't look great.

I'd rather trade for Nick Foles, than draft any of those guys. None of them impress me at this point. Hopefully, Bortles plays well and we don't have to make a major QB move at all though. I am cautiously optimistic that he can take the next step forward now that he has a solid crop of receivers, a solid starting TE, better protection on the O-Line and a much improved running game. With this offense, he is set up to succeed.
