Quote:I get what you are all saying, I do, i'd just do it differently if it were up to me.  So Blake get's injured and an unproven guy loses a few games?  I really don't care.  Or he comes in a goes all Tom Brady, then what?

The chances of unknown young backup coming in and going all Tom Brady are slim... especially on a team still in transition to building a mediocre team...

 

The chances of some guy coming in and giving you an unwanted (and probably unwarranted) QB controversy are higher, but it that what you really want?

 

I think the overall thought is.. if Bortles is "the man" for the foreseeable future you want a vet that can come in an win you 50% of fill in games.

Hell we managed that with Quinn Gray when Garrard was starter...

But those were different times. QB is so important that Todd Bouman is a better back up than some project.

 

Project QBs are for the practice squad... emergencies... Chip Kelly's roster....
