Well, that's why we really need him to get back on track and avoid any more of these pumpkin Smith games. If he finishes the year strong and truly does look like a MVP candidate, his value will match the price.
Not to mention, Bortles' 2018 option is near $20M anyways, so Jacksonville was already theoretically planning on having to pay a QB that much money.
