Quote:I disagree. You need a franchise QB. Not an old guy who may have a year or two left. What if Romo came to Jax and had one or two good years before returning? Then what?

Yeah, Romo is getting up there in age for a QB.


But, he didn't play last season (remember the backup QB carousel they used last year?). And, he isn't going to play this season.


2 full seasons of not even playing has positives and negatives.

-It "kind-of" offsets his age for a couple years.

-Although, not playing in 2 years might have a lot of rust built up in him.


He'd be a really good "stop-gap" QB for a year or two while another QB on the bench is groomed to get back in after he's ready.



Say what you will about Bortles, but he'd be an excellent backup QB at this point. Give him a season or two backing up Romo. Bortles recalibrates his mechanics,, studies film and decision-making, and then comes back ready when it's his time to take it back over.
