Quote:Doesn't have anything to do with confidence.  The job of the GM is NOT to publicly destroy a player's value to the team but beef it up.  Trade value and the player's self esteem.

 

You say that. Yet, here it was about a month ago when asked about Blake's position on the team and how it would effect the head coaching process that even Blake wasn't technically safe. That he'd be open to allowing free range for the next staff to advise on the position and if they wanted to go in a different direction. 

 

So he went from "His job is of course not safe" to "We can totally win a Superbowl with this guy". Doesn't make a lot of sense does it? This team can't win a Superbowl with Bortles. We can barely win games with him. Since his rookie season and even his "glorious" season in 2015 the kid has been a turnover machine. 

 

Any head coach or general manager worth a lick would have benched him already. And don't give me that political nonsense about "Well who do you start instead?". You start the guy that's not turning the football over and making stupid decisions. That's who. You can't say this staff knew what it was doing because the head fool of it all is gone now. Clearly, they didn't know what the hell they were doing or what they may or may not have on the roster.
