Blaine Gabbert got another chance in his third season when he started week one. Granted he got hurt, came back a couple of weeks later and played two more games, he was awful and they benched and gave up on him. So if they treat Bortles the same way, he should get another chance unless he plays like Blaine did in his three starts in 2013.


What Bortles needs to do in year two is improve his accuracy, cut down on the INTs, improve his production in yards and TDs, and just basically play a better all round game. He should be fine as long as he shows enough progress in his all round game, even if the team only wins a few games and Gus gets canned.


Bortles is a talented QB and needs time. Not every QB comes out and has the success Luck has had with the Colts. Some QBs take time to develop. Drew Brees had an okay first season as as a starter, went backwards in his second, and broke out in his third. He's gone on to big things. I'm not saying Blake will do what Brees did, but he's one example of a QB that took time to find his way.
