How Much Do You Believe In Blake?

I was reading a BR article that had a pretty interesting question and a little supporting information I figured I'd share to pick my fellow Jag fan's brains. Below is a snipet from the article (link):

"I'll get out in front of this immediately: I don't think the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to give up on Blake Bortles after just one season.

But it merits mentioning, again, that Bortles was an objective disaster in his first season. He was one of the four worst quarterbacks in the history of Football Outsiders' DYAR, which stretches back all the way to 1989.

The highest pick we've ever seen immediate surrender on at quarterback was when the Panthers immediately bolted from second-rounder Jimmy Clausen to select Cam Newton No. 1 overall. Clausen was objectively better than Bortles was last season, and I think even if you harbor hopes that working with new offensive coordinator Greg Olsen will change things for Bortles, you have to admit he has a long way to go in a short period of time.

It's to the point where even massive improvement will only take Bortles so far as a starting quarterback."

In addition, please take a look at the Football Outsiders chart listed to remember what's at stake here. Not many QBs in history have been as bad as he was last year and we Jags fans know this by experience.

So, with that being said....my question would be: Jags fans, in the unlikeliest of chances Jameis Winston somehow falls to pick #3, do you go the Carolina Panthers route & have two young QBs fight it out (which worked out very well for them and would rid us of Henne) or do you stick with Bortles all in? P.S.- I'm a middle of the pack Blake fan but more than anything I'm a Jags winning fan....having a little problem answering this one. Not to say Jameis is a can't miss prospect, but he's pretty darn good and would likely be an upgrade. And if we follow the old Seahawks way of building they are known for taking risks and moving on from draft picks quickly once they see what they need to. What say you family?
