It's not happening we have both backup qbs under contract.

i saw more from Allen and Heinicke in limited snaps than i've ever seen from Bortles. hard pass.

You all do realize the Panthers don't have a backup QB that has lasted an entire game, right?

thats more of an indictment of our OL last year than Allen/Heinicke's durability.

A qb who has started many games and made it to a championship game as our backup. Sign me up 

"the panthers have signed QB Mark Sanchez"

Most of the time, Jacksonville wished he didnt finish their games

Not for the amount he would cost

Absolutely...how much $$$

I know where we can find $5 M real fast!

Why do we insist on looking to sign expensive backups? Guys like Bortles, Keenum, and Kap don't come cheap.

Sign the BOAT.

Listen, he would be a backup QB. We aren't asking him to start. Dude has had a rough go to start his career. Something like 4 OC in the 5 years he's been in the league? Handled it all with class and humor. 

I'm not saying he'll be that good, but he's young, a big dude, has starting experience, a strong arm, and mobile. 

On paper, he's the perfect backup for the starting QB of our offense. He's a discount Cam. 

I have all the faith in the world that he could steady a ship and coast out .500 if Cam gets hurt. 

I'm all for it.

I would rather have tannehill as a backup when he's cut.

As a backup maybe but if he starts for multiple games you are probably in trouble.  Too many turnovers.

That applies to 99% of backups.  As an emergency option, Bortles is a lot better than some other guys.
