Blake Bortles as a long term quarterback?

#15

His tenure will likely be comparable to his predecessor, Blaine Gabbert, and just as successful.  Mike Vick, Mark Sanchez, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett, Matt Moore, Jake Locker, Jimmy Clausen, and Ryan Lindley are all free agents.  Are any of them the answer?  Well, no, but I'd take a look at signing someone with a little NFL experience to compete with Bortles for the starting job and see what happens.  Take a look at the last 74 QBs drafted;  http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldra...e=position.  Out of the 2014, 2013, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008 draft classes, only Andrew Luck can be called a legitimate star. One can hope to draft a Russell Wilson or Colin Kaepernick in a later round and get someone who has above average talent and is more than serviceable, but the high picks for the last several years have generally been busts because of the increased gap between the college and pro games.
