Quote:If Khan had just fired Caldwell, we would have a new coach and a new qb.


But nah let's waste another season. What's one more, right?

The issue with this line of thought is there is no can't miss quarterback prospect in this year's draft. The best is probably Mitch Trubisky but he's another project quarterback. Even Kizer, Kaaya and Watson are not sure fire options to be franchise quarterbacks. This year's draft is full of project quarterbacks. Should we take one on day two/three to push Bortles? I'd be fine with that. Competition is good. But I wouldn't replace Bortles with anyone from this year's class, start them, and trade Bortles to another team.


Free agency? The best is Kirk Cousins, but he's unlikely to leave Washington. Mike Glennon has his admirers but he's not really a franchise quarterback, he's another solid player, but not an upgrade over what we have. Kaepernick can't be relied on.


Trade? I know people love to say Garopollo but no Tom Brady back up has ever become a franchise quarterback - they've all failed in that account and proven themselves to be no more than solid. AJ Mccarron looks a solid player but nothing more. Tony Romo is elite when healthy but he's failed to stay healthy in the past couple of seasons. Are there options? Sure, but they all come with risk and potential high cost.


So considering the fairly lacklustre options, it is no wonder they have decided to pick a coach to try and get the best out of Bortles. Remember this. The Dolphins fans were ready to cast Tannehill away, yet Gase managed to get the best out of him before he got hurt. Can Marrone/Hackett get the best out of Bortles? Time will tell. It's worth the risk.
