Also the Texans handling of the QB position was embarrassing between Schaub and Watson. But the Jags have been far worse managing their QB position.
They probably wish they had Osweiller, Mallett, and Fitzpatrick. Or maybe they don't. Maybe they believe in Blake Bortles as much as the $54 million extension they gave him this offseason.
Seriously how can you be the worst regular starting QB in the NFL for 4 years and get a $19 million 5th year option followed by the extension? That's $73 million for 4 years for a guy you could replace with a street FA tomorrow and not lose anything. The front office over there has just tripled down on their biggest mistake. At least our guys were smart enough to move on from our screw up.
Also the NFL schedule is the ultimate reward for failure. If you play in the AFC South you already have an easy schedule. Then if you get last place you get the last place schedule. No other sport openly manipulates the schedule to benefit last place teams. In every other sport you play the same schedule as who you compete against in the division. The NFL artificially creates turn around teams like the 2017 Jags and fans eat it up.
