Quote:If Dave forces Bortles on any coach, than we aren't getting any of the names we like unless they LOVE Bortles. So I vehemently disagree.

 

If he hires a good coach and we pick up a decent QB through FA/trade/draft, the talent on this team (if its correctly coaches/takes the step a good coach should get out of it) we'll be right around .500 and on the up and up next year.

 

Bortles may be our starting QB next year to start, but I disagree that we won't have a very decent backup ready to come in if this stuff continues.

I think you misread what I was saying. My point is, we are not trading for Jimmy Garoppolo. Thats not happening. Thats a pipe dream and the Patriots want you to give them a 2nd round pick for him. I absolutely agree that Bortles will not be forced on a coach. Even Caldwell hinted at that in his press conference. But, its also unrealistic to think Bortles wont be given one more chance. I do agree real competition will be brought in, but I'm more likely to believe that competition will be a draft pick or possible a Free Agent. What I had in mind was, when the Bills release Tyrod Taylor, Jags could be interested. 

 

In my opinion, maybe we disagree, I think Bortles had a really bad season. I think the coaching has been horrendous and Bortles had a bad offseason where he was asked to spread the ball around and change his throwing motion. Maybe Ill be in the minority, but I think Bortles will be much better next season with a fresh coaching staff.
