Quote:Don't get me wrong, I'm not real high on Bortles.  I just think that it's wrong to throw him away... at this point.  I believe that he has the potential to be a good NFL QB.  There is no real viable option in free agency and no real clear viable option in the draft.  I'm willing to see how well he does in this upcoming season with a better supporting cast (players and coaches) around him.  The ideal situation would be to develop one or two younger QB's under him and get rid of the aging backup that we have.

 

I agree with that.   A franchise QB is such an incredibly valuable thing, and so difficult to acquire, that if there is any chance at all that Blake can become one, we have to give it a chance.   I'm not against taking a flyer on drafting a quarterback in the late rounds and hoping we get lucky, but I still think we have to roll with Blake one more year.
