I get wanting to "do right by him" and let him explore free agency sooner. That said, lets hang onto him through free agency and the draft. Whether Foles, Bridgewater, Keenum come here via trade or free agency; or Haskins, Murray, Jones or Grier are brought in via the draft. I don't feel comfortable outright axing him to appease the masses.

Here's what i know for sure. When the team was healthy and playing well around him. He took this team to 10-6, a division title for the first time this millenium, and an AFCCG apperance where in the weeks leading up to that he was playing the best he's played in his career. He started this season 3-1 and looked like "the guy" in doing so until the injuries set in and the season went off the rails. We know what we can do with him. Why get rid of him without a successor on board? I've seen Cody Kessler play and if we're not able to secure any of the aforementioned QB's from the first paragraph ... how far is Kessler or McGough realistically going to take us?

tl;dr hold Bortles as a "last resort" type option until a successor is brought in and under contract.
