Quote:One more year of Fisch could ruin Bortles for good. The first 40-48 starts are critical for any QB. 

 

Bortles, with an OC that was more in line with his strengths/ skill set, would be trending much better week to week and thats even with his issues with fundamentals. 

 

Thats how I see it anyway. 

 

It is interesting though - this makes the question of just cutting the losses with Gus after this season a real issue. Because as you cite - keeping Gus makes keeping Fisch and Babich almost a necessity.

And that's where either Caldwell messed up or strategically planned it this way to have a built in excuse of the team is young and inexperienced and needs a lot of time. Tearing a team down and replacing it with all rookies then hiring a coach with no head coaching experience is not bright. It's do or die with this experiment; and to save his on [BLEEP] Caldwell will fire Gus when it doesn't work.
