As for what would have been different, we might have become the second ever 0-16 team and been able to make a team give up a ransom for Mariota or Jameis, so possibly a huge upgrade for the long term.

Either way it would have been a sickening season to sit through had Henne started sixteen games.

So what you're saying is that it was the correct decision to throw Bortles out there before he was ready?  In my opinion he should have stayed on the sidelines and stayed in a "learning phase".  He was nowhere ready to play the game at this level.

You're also saying that you think we wouldn't have won at least 3 games with Chad Henne?

Was the season not "sickening" watching Bortles only win 3 games that season?

I'll give you a bit of a hint here.  The 2014 record had very little to do with the QB.

You can't rewrite history, only look at it.

What I'm saying is that with the benefit of hindsight I can see why someone might think holding Bortles out would be better for the team's long term interest, but I also could imagine it would have been an absolutely horrific season to endure.

I think it's quite questionable that the team wins three games with Henne in the games. Maybe one or two.
