Actions speak louder than words.  Coughlin simply said that it was the right decision at the time to extend Bortles coming off a deep playoff run in which he actually contributed to the success.  Neither of them is clueless.  If they were, Bortles would be out in California working on his mechanics...again, preparing to start another season with the Jaguars.  The fact that he's now a free agent is a pretty clear indication, they have a clue what they're doing.

Yes, they are. Many of us on this board, maybe even the majority of us were against the extension, because it didn't make sense to extend a guy who showed major consistency issues his entire career. Just because they release him now, when everyone in the world now agrees he's not the future of the team, doesn't make them any less clueless. I would say half of this board would've made better decisions regarding this issue and we wouldn't have been so close to the cap, like we are now.

You really expect them to say my bad
They said they didnt have any regrets


Taking that 16.5 hit is them saying my bad

I expect them to either say nothing, dance around the issue or say they made a mistake. Saying they didn't regret it, makes them sound either disingenuous or stupid.

Just because they may have been dishonest doesn't mean they are clueless.

By being dishonest, they apparently don't realize how clueless they sound.
