It would appear now that they have finally come to terms with that probably never happening. 

Personally -- I wanted them to draft a mid round QB last Spring (Peterman or Webb) to take over after the bye week if Bortles flames out.  They were apparently more committed to giving Blake another opportunity.

I get they wanted to see if he had what it took, but they still should have brought someone in. They had numerous chances and still do.

Bortles hasn't really shown after last season that he was a considerable franchise QB, so the fact they didn't make moves says they are wishful thinkers, too much ego or Bortles has someone family member hostage.

Just like this team is held hostage.

This "hostage" team in 3-2 and alone in first! I don't give a damn if they stick him on the field in a shark tank, and let the D, and the run game dominate!  I am enjoying pro football going into week 6 for the first time in a long time. So stop your whining and enjoy the ride, or take your Debbie downer $×+ somewhere else.
