Rams sign QB Blake Bortles to one year deal

[Ken]

Because he was so impressed with McVay and the Rams Org, and wanted to play here so badly, that he didn't want to risk it? That what's been reported (well, at least somewhat implied in the reporting). I know it's kind of hard to believe, and to get used to being a fan of a such a team, but that's apparently what happened. I'm pretty sure that's more likely than your hypothesis.

And boob jobs. Don't forget the boob jobs.

But not handjobs. Just ask Robert Kraft.

You know the answer, my friend: one of the most talented offenses in the NFL + arguably the best offensive mind in the NFL + a team coming off a Super Bowl appearance + a great locker-room/culture. Can't think of a better place to rehab your value when it's at its lowest point.

But he's being paid 6 mil, just most of it by the Jags

Some jobs just blow.

Some jobs just blow.

Why are blowies used as a pejorative? They're like the greatest thing...ever. A good one is, anyway.

You wouldn't say of a horrible job, "that job was so bad, it was like winning the lottery."

Was always curious about that.

Also, why is C-sucker considered a bad thing? If a dude is one, his partner is prolly very, very happy. If a girl is one, their partner is prolly very, very happy.

Kinda reminds me of a bit I wrote about sex and tacos...

McVay has made the Rams THE place to be in the NFL in 2 years. This is like Madden and it's amazing lol. Buckle up y'all, we're gonna be a threat for a while.

That's two free agents signed that came to visit just one team. Nice track record, if we can get a guy in town they have a very good chance of signing.

I am not surprised. We are one of the best spots for him to let the Jaguar stink dissipate and rehabilitate his value.

#3. Los Angeles Rams Sign QB Blake Bortles

1. 
   
   
   
   Terms: One year, $1 million ($1 million guaranteed)
   
   NFL teams are realizing how valuable it is to have a capable backup quarterback. And the shifting supply-and-demand dynamics at that position, along with a skyrocketing salary cap, have enabled some organizations to pay up for insurance under center.
   
   In other words, you no longer have to be viewed as a starter to make good money. Just ask Teddy Bridgewater ($7.3 million a year), Tyrod Taylor ($5.5 million a year), Chase Daniel ($5 million a year) or Chad Henne ($3.4 million a year).
   
   An argument could be made that Blake Bortles is as capable as any of those guys: The guy nearly helped the Jags get to the Super Bowl during an impressive playoff run in 2017. He doesn't deserve a starting job at this point, but, as a 26-year-old with over 100 touchdown passes in five NFL seasons, he's worth a hell of a lot more than the $1 million he'll get from the Los Angeles Rams in 2019.
   
   Before you cry Bortles a river, it should be noted that Jacksonville will still owe Bortles $6.5 million minus the $1 million offset created by his deal with the Rams. But still, what a bargain for Los Angeles.
   
   Having a passer (and runner) like Bortles on the sideline could save the Rams' season in the event of a short-term emergency, and yet 52 quarterbacks are scheduled to cost their teams more than he will in 2019.
   
   For the sake of comparison, Blake will cost the Rams the same amount of cash that long snapper Casey Kreiter will cost the Broncos next season. Come on!

Bortles could not play a snap all season and increase his value just learning under McVay. Sean McVay has changed the way people look at coaching.
