Small Town Values Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I’m cool with this. The team backed their man, & showed confidence in him. Hopefully it pays off, as the team is ready to have a consecutive run at the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cheaper towards the cap and is an easy out if he doesn't work out. Okay, cool. So your response to me referencing how the Jaguars are paying him out more money, just now spread out, was this: 35 minutes ago, .Buzz said: No one is arguing about if he's still on the roster or not. But he won't be if he doesn't improve, that's the point. 35 minutes ago, .Buzz said: This deal is to serve as a bridge and if he doesn't improve he's gone within the next two years. That’s the whole point. This was really a no brainer... A bunch of things I didn’t reference. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect opportunity to cement themselves as legit Superbowl contenders for years to come and they throw it away by betting on Blake frickin Bortles. Smh. I thought Bortles played well enough in the postseason to win. When I watched the Patriots game, I never thought for one second, "Bortles just cost them the game." The defense collapsing down the stretch is a much bigger reason the Jags lost to the Patriots, imo. And I think that was mostly due to coaching and changing their game plan for whatever reason and playing zone defense in the fourth quarter.

How is referencing when he's on the roster and the length of the contract not the same? You literally are talking about us talking about the length of the contract and not taking into account the extra years, and I'm saying that it's mostly a moot point...which it is. He isn't guaranteed to be here any longer than the option really. If he's worse next year than this year then there's a decent chance he'd be let go.

Because nothing I said was about Bortles as a player being on the roster? Or about him being a bridge QB? Or about him being there for x length of time? Or about him being there longer than the length of the contract? And no, I’m not “literally” talking about anyone not taking into account the extra year. What I said was that I found it funny how some people are spinning off the extension as if they’re actually paying him less now. If that’s not what you have said at any point, then there’s no reason for you to be getting to defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s not what you have said at any point, then there’s no reason for you to be getting to defensive. The cap hit is expected to be less which will allow us to possibly keep Colvin and/or ARob. That's all that matters. Edit: If it is the same, than it's taking a chance on QB who improved quite a bit with limited weapons. Add a new TE, Aaron, and young guys with more experience and who knows what happens. If he does improve, than hes at a bargain price the next couple years. He's already being paid like what he is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the Bortles train going into the offseason. Sure, I liked the thought of Cousins, but 30M with our setup wasn't realistic. Just annoyed with the people that see the name without looking at his actual play. Bortles has been a running joke on social media for a while. Drives me nuts.

I know you’re the defensive type, so I’ll reference you to my first post where I stated the move makes sense for the Jaguars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last quote here, but I just wanted to correct something. The tweet you posted (IIRC) said he was 19th in guaranteed dollars, not in pay overall. Some of the early draft picks, guys on options, certain contract situations, etc. will have higher GTD dollar amounts any given year, but that doesn’t mean they’re making more necessarily.
