Quote:Both quarterbacks were supposed to start their careers as bench warmers, so they do have the same excuse. However, Blaine Gabbert had two others: the players lockout and lack of surrounding talent. He never had a chance to be good in Jacksonville. He also was drafted at a time when we were built to run all day, which made him a misfit. Blake Bortles on the other paw simply regressed, as opposed to never being good in the first place.
 

 

I realize Gabbert was thrown into the worst possible situation, but the thing is, he's so bad that even if he was thrown into the best possible situation he would have stunk up the field. He's just a horrible qb.


 

Blake was horrible last year, but his 2016 season was nothing short of spectacular. He has the talent to take this team all the way even though Gabbert has a quicker release and throws a better spiral and fade pass.


 

With all of that said, we have to pay Blake something like $18 mil this offseason for his option, and that's a tough call to make. You see, I'm convinced that with the right supporting case and scheme, Bortles has the talent to take this team to the big dance, however, he also has a very serious issue regarding his arm. In two of three seasons, his arm fatigued on him nearly going limp at times preventing him from throwing downfield. Now it's my hope that this is manageable by keeping his attempts in check, but at the same time it presents a very significant risk. What if his arm keeps going out on him?
