This comes back to my sunk cost as a fan...  I thought it was a coaching problem in 2015 and firing Gus was the answer.  Turns out the rebuilding plan is a sham.  Bortles played well in a preseason game during his rookie season.  The smart thing to do would have been stick with the plan and keep him on the bench.  Our delusions were rewarded in 2015 when he played well against base defenses when the scores were lopsided.

 

Reality is 2 years of solid mechanics and project work and the firing of Gus in 2014 would have had a better outcome this year.  It is very likely that we will get a push next year and suffer through more pain.  My fandom sunk cost is going to result in more misery.
