Bortles could be in trouble

Was just reading around and discovered that the Jags signed Landry Jones. He used to be Big Ben's backup and he's a solid, dependable QB that wasn't kept because there were 2 other QBs that were cheaper. As far as I know, Bortles is still the starter and Cody Kessler is the backup, and I don't think that the jags would like to bench their now extended QB. Then again, he got benched against the Texans and the team is falling apart, so Bortles is not the only one to blame. Still, thoughts?

If Landry Jones was any good, he'd be somebody else's QB by this point. He was on the free agent market for a reason.

The reports down here are that Bortles has an injury to his non-throwing shoulder and Jones was signed as an insurance policy. Frankly, I have no doubt that Jones would provide a better option than Bortles. Bortles is that bad.

I was hoping that they would make a trade to the Saints for Teddy Bridgewater at the deadline. Actually, I was hoping they would grab him as a free agent during the off season.

I would have been all for that. Although, I’d be concerned about Teddy’s durability.
