Especially when he's had a history of inconsistent offseasons where...who knows what sort of mechanics he'll even come back with? They've shown to wildly fluctuate already...add in surgery and rehab and who knows what you're gonna get. That makes it so much scarier. Rehab is supposed to be 3-5 weeks based on what it looks like happened. We’re already a week deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Is there going to be confirmation that we are keeping Bortles any time soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Blake had a completely unwatchable embarrassing stretch or two this season. I don't know how you can hand Kirk Cousins the kind of money he's going to command, without at least thinking Smith is a decent QB. They're not that far apart. Cousins has thrown plenty of really bad passes in his NFL career...probably worse than anything you'll see out of Smith even. He's a similarly mediocre QB...with less consistency at this stage in their careers. Well yeah, it wasn't just him. But you seem to think Smith won't have any bumps in the road like Blake. He did. Every QB does. Smith is more consistent but it's not as drastic as you're making it out to be. We both know Blake had things like that in the season and needs to be more consistent. We both know Smith is better. I just don't see it as a drastic improvement. I think if Bortles plays like he did in 2017in 2018 it's relatively marginal upgrade wise. We'll still be heavily leaning on the run game and defense with Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Seeing how expensive it is to pay a QB the best way to win a SB might actually be what we're doing. Reasonably priced QB and an elite defense. Cheaper to pay 2 elite defenders than it is to pay a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i would. At this point, we're left with either throwing even more insane money at a QB the Redskins clearly thought wasn't worth it. Like...franchise ruining money probably. Pinning the entire season on a completely unknown rookie. Or rolling the dice with Blake Bortles again...coming off a wrist injury and already inconsistent enough to begin with. Or maybe some outside shot at Eli Manning or something? Actually Patrick Robinson was the top Slot CB, as well as the #4 overall CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishHooligan00 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The only way IMO to keep Bortles is if you could work out a 2-3 year deal that lowers the 19 Million this year. maybe like 2 Years 32 Million with a cap hit of like 14 Million year 1. At 19 Million its way to expensive for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishHooligan00 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I say sign a vet in FA for 5-8 Million at QB and draft a QB in the 1st two rounds depending on how it falls. get some competition and see if blake can show up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we'd just fire Coughlin and hire this guy already. He's got it all figured out. TC and co. clearly have no idea what the hell their doing by keeping Blake and passing on the likes of Nick Foles, Bridgewater, Keenum, and co.

KhanYouDigIt Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Prisco pumping Brees to Jax. I don’t think it’s a lock he returns to NO if the money is that big of a difference between say NO and Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Since Mark Brunell is likely the #1 QB in franchise history who do you think is #2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLoo Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 You're gonna have a pretty hard time convincing me that Garrard is ahead of Bortles, I think. Blake's #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPlainNasty Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thoughts on Foles as a possibility for your late 1? This years contract is pretty friendly. If he wins you offer him a new fat contract if not at least you didnt spend 20 on Bortles. You might be able to tell Blake to hit the street then resign him as competition later for a lot less.
