I'm not ready to hop off the Bortles bandwagon just yet...

 

but maybe Caldwell is pretty good on hedging his bets. 

 

Signing Beachum to cover for Joker

Nabbing Malik to replace Marks (who isn't completely done yet)

Signing Ivory when he saw Yeldon wasn't a bellcow or whatever...

Maybe there is a reason we drafted and kept Allen the QB.

 

I hope Bortles turns it around. I think he can. I don't buy that ALL of his good play has come in garbage time or against soft coverage D.

I watched enough games to know that most of it came from the fact that we couldn't run, our weapons were much unknown to the league, Bortles had to throw a lot because the D was so bad.

If he was truly, really bad... he wouldn't have compiled the stats at all.

 

Plenty of QBs just plain suck.

 

Maybe its true he isn't a true franchise QB. But it's only year 3 for a guy who came out early and has had, to much of the boards agreement, bad coaching.
