The kid has worked w/ Tom Brady's throwing coach for 4 offseasons and he still can't throw a football. It's not the coaches.

2.  Sometimes blaming the player for being worse than originally evaluated is simply the correct assessment.
Especially with first round quarterbacks since they are routinely overdrafted year after year.

I hear ya.  Its just we have been missing on QBs for over a decade.  The last i heard about TC and the thoughts on BB5, is they wanted to keep him as the starter and thats why we didnt go QB last year.  We not only didnt go QB to keep Blake as a starter but we didnt draft him any help whatsoever.  TC is cool but someone has to be at fault for this decision making process.

TC and Caldwell must absolutely share blame for keeping Bortles too long and for extending him. 
Even if the contract terms were reasonable coming off of a playoff run --  Bortles' 2018 performance rendered that extension a poor decision. 

I think they have every intention of placing a new starter this offseason, whether it's a rookie that starts around the bye week or sooner, or a vet that they clear cap space to sign to a large contract. They will make effort to place someone else behind center moving forward.  If it's a rookie, maybe Blake gets a shot at bridging the gap, but I suspect he's gone on March 13th.
