I just don't think you give up on your #3 overall selection when last year most people were hanging on his jock and this season he's having a bad year (accompanied with what many would agree is a bad/awful/terrible/lame duck coach staff)

 

Bortles may never live up to his draft status but I don't think you pull the plug, just yet.

 

But there certainly needs to be some backup plans made (Allen I think was one of them I think Caldwell will bring in a veteran, probably not someone who expects to start, a la Romo, but someone like Hoyer who has been a steady backup with mild success)

Bortles plays without his 5th year option in essentially a make or break year. He does well with new staff, we're good, he doesn't he's canned after 2017 and Caldwell gets another shot at it, likely picking top ten one last time.)

Looking ahead it depends on how many guys come out early this year....

But we could be looking at guys like JT Barrett, Kaaya, or ironically Austin Allen (our 3rd QBs brother)
