Quote:How did that turn out with Blaine Gabbert. He had all the measurables, height-weight-strong arm.

 

 

He also had 3 different head coaches, 3 different coordinators, and 3 different position coaches during his time here, and he played behind one of the worst lines in the league. 

 

All of the issues above are being addressed. 

 

We saw little to no churn with the coaching staff, giving this team continuity for the first time in a few years. 

 

The offensive line is a work in progress.  We've added a free agent already, we're getting our first round pick from 2013 back from injury, and I have no doubt we'll be adding additional players to the group in the draft, and in free agency between now and training camp. 

 

This team was bad.  There have been a ton of holes that need addressing.  It took years to get it to this point, and it's not something we can simply fix with the flip of a switch.   It's a process.

 

Bortles does have the kind of measurables you want from an NFL QB.  How that translates on the field remains to be seen.  The expectation here is that the front office build a roster around him to help him thrive in his new role.  That's what they're doing now.  What happened with Gabbert is irrelevant.
