Well those people do live in Jacksonville so...Nice pull, Faust. One-third of the fanbase was actively pulling for Marrone to name Brandon Allen as the starting QB

It's all game plan/flow related. Hint: start him vs KCGuy's holding is own. Problem for me is that I've played him weeks 1 & 3 and sat him in 2& 4 (2QB league)
Sorely tempted to pick up Carr instead now with that newsProbably going to shift gears and not spot start him with the weather in KC today. Bummer, looked like a great match-up.
You must play in a fantasy league that doesn’t penalize too hard for turnovers. Dude has 8 turnovers in 5 games played this year. I personally would not trust him at all in a single qb league. However—I do think he’s a very good second qb option in a 2 qb league.Well fantasy day was actually ok but his trend of unpredictability continues...
Crazy. A stat line of 430 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 4 Int, 34 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 1 Fum Lost.Well fantasy day was actually ok but his trend of unpredictability continues...
When you have Cody Kessler, how do you not play him?Benched.
Yeah Bortles is bad, but Teddy or Tyrod would not have really changed anything.doeseatplace said:
Exactly. Team was built with little to no margin for error, and to date, almost everything they were counting on has gone wrong. Neither of the 2 QBs you mentioned would have been able to overcome this, although jury is still out as to whether Teddy B would have melted down as colossally as BB5 hasYeah Bortles is bad, but Teddy or Tyrod would not have really changed anything.
Except every single game left on the scheduleBusterTBronco said:Jags need to get on the phone with Tim Tebow. Nothing to lose.

At least he got the could/couldn’t care less usage correct thanks to his quality UCF education
Blake Bortles - QB - Jaguars
Blake Bortles completed 24-of-41 attempts for 286 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' Week 8 loss to the Eagles in London, adding 43 yards on the ground.
A week after getting benched, Bortles appeared hesitant to let the ball go early. At one point in the second quarter, he had more carries (4) than passing attempts (3), and he threw just seven passes total in the first half. The offense opened up after the break, and Bortles was able to move the football. He completed seven of nine passes on a 75-yard touchdown drive in the third quarter including a great touch throw to Dede Westbrook for the touchdown, and he led a couple field goal drives the next two times the Jags had the ball. A couple of better throws could have earned him a touchdown on both drives, however, and he was not able to lead a comeback drive despite picking up one fourth down with his legs. Bortles played well enough to keep the starting job against the Colts coming out of the bye, especially since he did not commit any turnovers, but he will remain on a short leash.

The Jaguars will not bench Blake Bortles for Week 12.
When asked if Bortles was losing confidence, coach Doug Marrone said you would have to ask Bortles. Scintillating. Marrone has clearly lost all confidence in his quarterback. The Jaguars only let him attempt 18 passes in Sunday's meltdown loss to the Steelers. Already benched once this season, Bortles will surely be benched twice, though the Jags' campaign is in the gutter, perhaps lessening the urgency. It appears the Jags will finally move in a different direction this offseason.

Yeah Bortles was an absolute non-factor in the passing game. I know that Kessler isn't the next coming of Tom Brady and Landry Jones just joined the team a few weeks ago but Jax is better off going to one or them if the coaching staff has that little confidence in Bortles.Checkdowns and floaters, that's all he did today. He would have been benched if the Jaguars had a halfway decent backup.
At this point, does it really matter? Season's done, both Bortles and Kessler aren't any good. They have no confidence to let Bortles even throw a pass at the end of the game. They need to clean house. I had supported Bortles more than most but it's over.Yeah Bortles was an absolute non-factor in the passing game.

Wouldnt make sense to cut him anyway. 16.5m dead cap vs 16m salary (unless some/all of the offsets for the 6.5m guaranteed for 2018 have been triggered)Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 3m3 minutes ago
The Blake Bortles Era isn’t done just said. #Jaguars coach Doug Marrone told reporters he’ll start the final game again the #Texans.
Think there’s an earlier post where it would cost an extra 5 mill to cut him.Wouldnt make sense to cut him anyway. 16.5m dead cap vs 16m salary (unless some/all of the offsets for the 6.5m guaranteed for 2018 have been triggered)
Who would the Jags be able acquire that makes the $5M loss worth it? Joe Flacco? Teddy Bridgewater? Colt McCoy?Think there’s an earlier post where it would cost an extra 5 mill to cut him.Wouldnt make sense to cut him anyway. 16.5m dead cap vs 16m salary (unless some/all of the offsets for the 6.5m guaranteed for 2018 have been triggered)
Guess could see both sides but think they move on.
Don't think the 5 Mill is a big deal - could go for someone in free agency and/ or the draft. They don't need to decide until after free agency and the draft.Who would the Jags be able acquire that makes the $5M loss worth it? Joe Flacco? Teddy Bridgewater? Colt McCoy?
Maybe they'd be better off taking a QB in the first round and then let him sit behind Bortles for a year.

Right but I think the two guys you mentioned Flacco and Bridgewater are possibilities. Also Tannehill is a possiblity off the top of my head.[scooter] said:Here is the free agency list. I've bolded the QBs with experience as a starter:
