Quote:If both parties are being objective and the potential coach cited validated reasons for feeling the way he does (which right now are legion), I think the only rational solution would be to compromise. Draft or sign a viable replacement for Bortles, allow Bortles the opportunity (and actual coaching) to attempt to fix his issues and let these two duke it out in camp for the starting gig. If Blake legitimately steps his game up and beats out the brought in guy. We win. If the brought in guy is better and ends up starting. We win.

 

Either way, this is unquestionably the best course of action as I see it regardless of who the coach is. The only thing that would get in the way of this coming to pass is ego.

 

   Ideally for the Jaguars,  what you mentioned would seem like the best case scenario.   What's the chances of this happening,  given human nature,  is a different question.

 

   There's no question from my perspective that at the very least,  legitimate competition for Blake Bortles is needed.   As much as I respect the type of role Chad Henne has provided the Jaguars,  he's not good enough to effectively push Bortles to a higher level and/ or replace him if necessary if the team's goal is to at least make the playoffs.
