Get ready for people to come in here and say the coaches killed Blake. It's everyones fault except for Blake.

No doubt.  Look, I like Blake.  I just think the expectations we had for him were overly optimistic, and he provided us with some fools gold last year late in the season.  He's not the worst QB this franchise has ever trotted out there as starter, and in the right environment he could probably be pretty effective.  It's a shame it won't happen here because the guy had almost all of the intangibles you want from your QB (as long as you weren't expecting a tight spiral, pinpoint accuracy, and nerves of steel).

I do not dispute the premise about Bortles being a coach killer.

I am concerned, however, about the number of his victims.  Three coaches?

Maybe I need coffee, but I count two head coaches (Bradley and possibly Marrone) and maybe three OCs (Fisch, Olsen, Hackett).

Am I missing a head coach?

Sorry, I actually intended to say possibly 2 head coaches there.  I should really proofread this stuff before clicking Post Reply.  Let's hope he's not here to victimize a third head coach. lol
