No matter how much you dismiss Bortles' numbers and try to validate Hoyer's/HOU QB's (even though we had quite a few blow-out garbage time TD's), I'd still trade Hoyer/Nuk/Washington/Blue-Etc/Griffin-etc for Bortles/ARobinson/Hurns/Yeldon/DRobinson/Thomas without blinking an eye. I'm pretty confident most, if not all, NFL GM's would do the same. I'd also be confident our coaching staff could develop and help improve any weaknesses these players might have. In addition, a much better D would be less likely to put them in bad situations and force them to take added risks. As for the other QBs you mention, of course there are other QBs I'd take over Bortles (maybe not all of the ones on your list), but that has nothing to do with my original point. It was strictly JAX/HOU players.
I'm not scared of them overtaking us either because I think their coaching staff sucks and they have a long way to go to upgrade that horrendous D. However, that doesn't change the fact I think they have a good, young offensive core.
