Blake's failure was Dave's failure.

Baffling why the obvious must be explained, but... here we are.


Signature pick?  I don't know about that.  The team desperately needed a QB and Dave picked one early. Like tons of GMs would have. Turned out to be the wrong player choice.  How is that a signature pick? He swung and missed on a QB like most GMs do at some point. 
What is so singular about that pick? 

Giving that QB an extension that proved to be entirely too optimistic -  and then regrettably releasing said QB at a major loss doesn't spell fall guy to me.  It says "really bad extension decision."
Dave isn't in control of what repercussions come his way, he merely has to make the moves he and Coughlin feel are going to make the team competitive. I mean, the coaches made Bortles a healthy scratch at one point last year. Were they supposed to keep him after that? Was TC supposed to fire Dave and keep Bortles?

For better or worse the QB you take in the first is your signature pick for the vast majority of GMs , especially when it's that high. It's the 2nd most important decision they make
