Bortles has been a disappointment, but Caldwell said when he was drafted that he was the best QB available of the 2014 and 2015 crop. That's arguably true, and Caldwell was essentially forced to take a QB in 2014. Carr has faded badly. Mariota and Bridgewater are injury prone (maybe Garoppolo too, who had a bad start this year before his injury) and are not elite QBs even when healthy. Winston is as inconsistent as Bortles and has off-field issues. Manziel ...

While Bortles played poorly this year (and in 2016) he still has the team record for TD passes in a season by a huge margin, and had a good December and playoff run last year. This year he's been limited by the OL, the receivers (what happened to Cole?) and lack of a running game. I give Caldwell a pass on Bortles, especially after the rest of the 2014 draft, where he also got three Pro Bowl level players along with Lee and Colvin. The choice to re-sign Bortles after last year was as much Coughlin as Caldwell.

I dont see how one could argue that Bortles is better than Carr or Garoppolo

Because Bortles hasn't missed a game due to injury?

Garoppolo has a limited record with only ten starts in 5 seasons and he's spent as much time on IR as he has on the field.

Carr has been better than Bortles in passing, but the difference is small. Bortles is a better runner, so he has that going for him. I wouldn't want to build my team around either one. Also, Carr would have probably been killed behind our OL had the Jags drafted him in 2014.
