Look at all the teams who moved up to take their QB, I would say most are pretty happy now right? The Texans have lots of holes but they didn't matter much because they have their QB

One could argue that they also have a more competent receiving core or at least a true #1 threat and move TEs. One could also argue that they have more agressive OCs and plan to QB strengths. Which one of these did the Jags possess for the entire season? Last year was not an anomaly and you could see it carry over into this season until our first string guys and playmakers started dropping like flies. I get the Bortles hate but he is not deserving of everything that went wrong and then receives no credit for the things that went right.

Yes the Texans have competent receivers and a true #1 in Nuk. Much better than ours. They also have a bottom 5 Oline which Watson still managed to play really well behind..that's the point, when you have your QB the rest works itself out.   

And I haven't seen a soul say Bortles was the only reason everything went wrong this year. We had mass amounts of injuries and dysfunction. 

But at the end of the day, with better QB play we'd still have won at least 4 extra games. The QB position was the biggest issue this year, that's why we need to be aggressive in fixing it.
