Bortles wasn't killing the team until the injuries to the OL got insane. He's a nice insurance policy if the rookie got hurt. Obviously the team CAN win with Blake at QB if everything else goes right, not sure about a guy like Kessler or Lee. Everyone's assuming he's gone, but the previously outlined scenario seems plausible to me

Pretty sure Blake killed this team in the KC game by throwing 4 ints, including that one glorious pick 6 into the hands of the KC defender who walked untouched 15 yards the other way into the end zone.  Weeks 5-7 the O line injuries hadn't become completely ridiculous yet but he wasn't doing much of ANYTHING when it came to moving the ball.  Short of the Pats, Jets, and Colts game (I blame that one on Greene), that's 3 out of 11 games where Blake put the team in a good position to win.  Every other time....we were already playing from behind.

Well he wasn't killing them to the point they were 3-1 I mean. Don't get it twisted he's been unwatchably awful since probably the Pats game, but I'm just saying $16.5 million is a lot to eat and you could do much worse if the rookie got hurt. I definitely want a 1st rd rookie next year (I don't think there is any other option really) and I can just see there either being a competition in camp between the two or Blake starting a few games ala Tyrod Taylor this year. Everyone is assuming he's cut ASAP and I'm just not seeing it
