I have to imagine it's hard to dump a guy who got you one game away from the SB just one year ago.

You may be right. But this is a pretty big collapse. And I wouldn't have said what I did if Hackett wasn't just fired. Clearly scapegoatted. So I think Coughlin will say these weren't my guys. Lot of people thought Marrone was gone before last year. Scottenheimer got fired after a 14-2 season or something like that.

Apparently some of the Bills old front office people must have followed St. Doug because the jump to sign Bortles after a decent year has Bills old front office move stamped all over it !! Now they will have to pay him like the Bills did Fitz when they released him because you don't pay a back up that kind of cash to sit the bench !!

He is beyond terrible.  A basic pass seems very difficult for him.  His ball so many times looks like it's going through a hurricane when it's just perfectly normal conditions.

 

Great name for a QB failure.

 

Best since The Much Maligned Mark Malone

Maybe Bortles can work on NFL Matchup and explain how to throw interceptions and throw uncatchable ducks to guys 5 yards away. 

 

that's a cast of dozens of QBs still collecting a paycheck

I have no idea why they resigned Bortles.  Put any mediocre QB on that team and they would be in playoff contention.  I haven't seen much of Bortles play besides the two games vs the Bills, but that is honestly all you need to see.  Guy couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat

 

Why did they keep him?  Did Marrone prefer him?  It seems unlikely, since one of the reasons he left the Bills was because EJ Manuel was being forced down his throat.  you mean to tell me  that he preferred Blake friggin Bortles going into the season?!
