great comment, my brother.

Quote:Like I said, if Bortles is who we said he was, he'd be able to avoid the rush and he did just that.

He's more mobile than Henne, but let's make sure we put this into proper context. The Indianapolis line isn't exactly a juggernaut out there, and they weren't really prepared for Bortles. Let's see how things progress for him as teams start to game plan specifically for him. I think over the long haul he should be fine, but there are going to be some ugly moments along the way. Allowing him time to develop has hurt absolutely nothing here.

It's clear what the truth is here. You've lied, so now you'll play this deflection game. That's fine. You're exposed for what you are.

lol @ FBT currently backpedaling better than Primetime

 

lol

 

every week it will be "but team X's line is the worst"

 

rinse and repeat

 

the guy just cant admit that he doesnt know what he doesnt know

Lol!!!!!! @ The just ''trust the staff'' ''but this oline'' and ''we don't wanna Gabbert him'' crowd.

I'm torn because I really don't feel Bortles is stepping into a stable situation. Rookie wideouts and linemen.


But it is nice to see this next era in our franchise unfold.

Where am I back pedaling? You've yet to provide a single quote backing this up, liar.


I have nothing to admit to here. You manufactured a viewpoint I never expressed, and now when you're challenged yo back it up, you do what the typical weasel does. You deflect because you can't back it up. One little quote is all you need.

I'll admit, I think the best compromise was to let him come in during a blowout and play with what's basically zero pressure to win the game on him.


It'll be interesting to see how he manages the games from here on out when he starts getting starter reps. I don't expect a Big Ben-like performance but I do expect the games to be a bit closer.

next up on the schedule, the 85 Bears line. 

 

*Bortles plays well against these guys*

He's not stepping into a stable situation, and there should be genuine concern. It's going to be ugly, but it will be a good test to see what we have in Bortles. If he lives up to expectations, great. If he doesn't, the luminaries who dismiss the concerns wil simply declare him a bust.

Agreed. It was the absolutely perfect opportunity to get him out there. Now it's his offense. Hopefully he responds well.

Dude, what you're saying doesn't even make sense lol.  The kid has pocket pressence far beyond Henne or an average QB.  He'll be fine.

 

P.S.  Stop using big words trying to sound smarter than others.  It doesn't add to your credibility, or lack of.

Yeah its a shock to me. I hope he has a lot of resolve because he's gonna need it.

Agreed completely. I must say though.. even in his worst moments today you can tell he was a gamer and trying to make plays. That almost safety was an impressive play in some sense.

he doesnt know what he doesnt know lol

 

he spits out all the cliches

 

if i had to guess, i'd think he has never played a sport in his life, or that he's an older gentleman who listens to all the coaches' pressers and claims to know everything about football

Just face it. Y'all and the staff was wrong on the Blake not starting situation. Like I said before. It's either you have it or you don't. I have no concern about Blake playing behind this line or these WRs.
