So even if I entertain the "win now" possibilities Cousins would have brought compared to Bortles, the 2018 season would have been a failure with either QB and with Cousins we'd just be even more hard-pressed financially to retain talent.

Everyone says we need to Draft a QB this year. Its looking more and more like we will. but everyone is saying none of them would be ready to start next year and if we did do that we would be waisting the quality of players we have on defense for a good playoff run. So every one says get a VET to come in. problem is we cant afford a good one. Well if we fix the o-line and have 4net for the whole year next year. you keep blake and you make your playoff run, iif it doesnt work out you have a rookiee ready to replace him....

Yeah. I think the vast majority are hoping for a rookie QB early in the draft that will either start in 2019 or take over after the bye in 2019. 
However - 
Most are expecting his placeholder to be Kessler or another journeyman. There's still a slim chance Bortles is in the mix for that role, but I really, really doubt it.  I think they'll do the "June designation" to spread his dead money over two seasons and cut him. I understand your position on him, but I really think that's what will happen at this point.
