Maybe it's his fault for thinking that ~10 mil AAV difference is "team vs no team" and not one good player or like 2/3 of a really good player.

You saw that... and ignored it. Still ignoring it.  What are you going to do with Ngakoue, Ramsey and Jack in 2020 when you owe Aaron Rodgers 34 million while trying to re-sign them?  Jags are free to be onto a rookie QB contract at that point.

He said Bortles vs Rodgers was "team vs no team". You are saying rookie QB vs Rodgers. We'll be able to keep our young stars either way. We might not be filling them in with as good of players compared to a rookie deal QB, or we would be filling them in with almost exactly as good of players if we still have Bortles. Either way, having one of the most elite QBs in the game is better than unproven rookie + 3 good players or average QB + one good player.
