Since you and Dieter believe that Mannion is a more talented qb than Bortles then there is nothing further to discuss, is there?
What's the point in trying to upgrade from a player when, after three years, "we don't know what he can do"?
Who doesn't like surprises?
Me, that who.
I've just watched enough Bortles to know that he's not only not a good QB, but by his own admission he hasn't taken football seriously and has only just started to apply himself and even by that standard, not much.
THIS is why he actually harms his team.
His natural talent isn't at issue and is beside the point at this moment.
Bortles loses games for his team on multiple occasions because he's not a professional.
Is Mannion the better physical talent or arm talent? No. But see, Mannion is a hard worker and studies so is less likely to turn the ball over.
I dunno if Mannion will ever be more than a backup.
What I do know is that Bortles is fools gold and his lack of professionalism has cost his team multiple games.
Now, if you know of a professional QB who would be an upgrade over Mannion that's not super expensive, then I'd love to hear it. Problem is that Bortles doesn't qualify as a professional QB and is disqualified based on work habits alone.
