Bortles would take the snap, elude 3 pass rushers and throw the ball so high up in the air it leaves the atmosphere. He then runs to the endzone in the precise spot where the ball will land and jumps at least 10 feet above everybody else and catches the football in his teeth. Lindsey Duke then runs onto the field in a bikini to lead an elaborate TD celebration.
This happens on every single play. Final stats: 5-5 400 yds 5 TD. 5 Receptions 400 yds 5 TD.
Quote:The idea is to see where the expectations are based on the cries for Bortles. Curiosity drill is all.
For his first start I'll go with 200 yds, 1TD, 1INT. By the end of the year he will be buzz lightyears ahead of buzz lightyear.

Bortles is Curt Henning?
Henne: 19/33, 175 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT
Bortles: 26/40, 260 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

Quote:I'm a huge Bortles fan but i'm worried he isn't gonna meet the rabid expectation of the Boner for Bortles Brigade on here. He's a rookie and he will struggle some when he gets his chance. I'm dreading this board when that happens. If he were thrown in this weekend, i feel it would be bad. So what's his stat line? And for giggles, throw Henne's out there too.
Henne: 21 - 37, 191 yards, 1 td 1 int, 3 sacks
Bortles: 24 - 37, 216 yards, 2 tds, 3 int, 2 sacks
Jags lose under both scenarios. Hopefully no injuries. No point in starting Bortles at this time IMO.
Good work, this is actually somewhat grounded in reality. When I saw the question, I half-expected predictions more like this...
Henne 5-38, 9 yards, 0 TDs, 6 INTs
Bortles 50-50 634 yards, 15 TDs, 0 INTs
Predicting stats is like predicting the untold future. It's near impossible. What I will predict upon BB5's debut is enhansed, upscaled and an revived offense. BB5 looks to push the ball down the field and the receivers knows this. They'll be Like, Aweeee Shucks Now...Game On...
The receiving core will respond accordingly to BB5...
NH3...
I'd say...
23-35
214 yards
2 tds
1 int
1/1 99 1 TD 0 Int
Bortles passes once while being sacked and goes out with an injured ear. FBT gets on the MB to beat his chest about how right he was that Bortles wasn't ready, and revealing he's really TMD, too. Meaning he's been arguing with himself all these years.
Does anyone else have a feeling that a lot of these WR "injuries" will go away when they have confidence someone can get the ball to them to make a play?

Man, that's straight hilarious!
31-38 310yards 4TD 1 int 2 sacks
Bortles 31-34 800yards passing with 10 tds. Jags then go 14-2 and win da super bowl! !!! Kidding aside; if he were, I believe it would be similar to 22-35 with about 230 yards 2tds no picks. Some of thr yardage would come in garbage time.
I think we may see him after half time if Henne plays as currently
I got the TD's and INT's right, even though he only played 2 quarters.
Apparently the stat lines were:
4/7 33 yards, 0 TD 0 INT
14/24 223 yards 2 TD 2 INT
Of course Henne didn't get to play garbage time, but I think the offense looked a lot more competent with Bortles out there. Which is about what I expected.
