I also think Bortles' athleticism and generally good attitude would make him a decent backup (assuming they would let him be a read-once-and-run style running QB and stop trying to turn him into a pocket passer). You could do worse in a backup.  Do agree it could be a little awkward from a team chemistry standpoint but they'd probably be able to make it work.

It should bother fans that the front office botched things that badly that the bust QB from 2014 is still on the team and making starter money in his 6th season. That would bother fans of all 32 teams.     

Blake absolutely will have a long long career as a respected backup/spot starter and all round good guy. Just not with us. Honestly I think for Blake's own sake its probably best if he moved on , even if its a bit awkward given his 2 young kids.

I agree on the mis-fire from a draft standpoint but that's not a financial issue per se. It would be better for his career if he moved on but I'm just thinking of what would be better for the Jags at this point.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.
