Quote:Suppose we brought in another coach-Mike Smith, Haley, Shanahan.

 

What's the odds we would play with a QB other than Bortles, barring injury? 

 

What QB?  Guys like Tyrod Taylor?  Jay Cutler?

 

Would you be willing to possibly trade a 1 and a 4 (a 1, as it stands now, that's a top 5 pick) for a largely unproven Garoppolo? 

 

If you drafted a QB this year, what is the likelihood he replicates what Dak Prescott did?

 

Even if you don't think Bortles is ultimately the long term answer, he is likely the most viable QB option for this team this year.

 

BB6 is a bust.  Sorry to break it to everyone.  He may really focus this year and get to mediocre for a while.  But he's not the answer at QB.  He's not a franchise QB.

 

As far as your questions, yes.  It's time to bring in real competition to push BB6 and to see if there is some other QB out there that is at least marginally better than he is.  

 

And yes, it time to begin drafting QBs as well as bringing in journey-man QBs.  

 

What's wrong with that?  The QB position needs to be addressed.  And it needs to be addressed this off-season.  Real competition and a replacement needs to be identified.  Draft, develop, and repeat the process.  

 

We drafted BB6.  We tried to develop him, and have failed.  It's time to repeat the process with another QB.  This isn't rocket surgery.  As for answers in Free Agency...  Who knows?  Maybe Tyrod Taylor is a stop gap.  Maybe he's a good camp QB that will push BB6 to be a better QB and reach is ceiling as a mediocre QB.  At any rate, it's important to bring in competition.

 

As for drafting, yes!  Draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd or wherever you find one with value.  Maybe they will be a Dak Prescot, or Russel Wilson type pick up.  You act like doing these things is a bad idea.

 

Do you think it's not time to bring in competition to push/replace Blake Bortles?  Because I think it's time.  The fact that we are keeping the coaching staff is hinting at the idea that we aren't looking push/replace BB6.  This would be a mistake.  And I hope Coughlin can recognize that.  It's time to begin the process of finding our franchise QB.  Cuz BB6 ain't it.
