Blake Bortles - Going....going....

Recommended Posts

….soon to be gone.

 

 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Jaguars plan to move on from Blake Bortles this offseason.

 

This feels obvious, but it wasn't a given after a surprise Bortles extension in February. Jacksonville is expected to make Bortles a post June cut — spreading his $16.5 million dead money over the next two years. After leading the Jaguars to the AFC Championship, Bortles hit rock bottom this season, but he should resurface in a backup role. The Jaguars will start over at quarterback. Dec 8 - 8:20 PM

He is the type of qb who will keep on being around. If Sanchize can get jobs...

 

And the Jags somewhat clearly have bigger and other issues than old BB.

I agree. He will be around for sure. Heck, he could have another 10 years in the league at $2-3 million a year sitting on the bench and telling the starting QB to keep his head up.

Seems weird. By the time they have a competent QB their defense will be old/free agenty and they'll still be junk. I don't think their window is open long enough for them to take a redo at QB.

True. Even worse, their defense isn't all that great now. A little better than average. Currently they are ranked 26th against the run. Much better against the pass, but still....

 

And there are more than a few teams out there laboring in QB hell.

The nfl is a weird biz. If you get stuck with the wrong qb AND he gets expensive, you are the Ravens. Or worse, the Giants (ducks tomatoes).

 

Blake is bad enough to move on from. But he has enough redeemable assets that you cannot just replace him with anybody.

It's tough in the NFL because teams normally don't let good QBs leave. So free agency is out for the most part. Teams just have to take chances in the draft and make sure they have good coaches to help them. Otherwise they get mired in mediocrity for years until they actually draft one.
