Bortles proved again, "HE'S NOT THE GUY". His wobbling passes aren't like Manning's wobbly passes that stuck to his receivers hand like pine sap. Some guys have it, and some guys don't.

Fournette Looks solid.

Ngakoue is "THE GUY" on defense.

We still have kicking issues. We'll all be cursing our kicker when he blows a PAT in a close one, but drills a meaningless 60 yarder in a game that we're down 30.

Looks like we have speed at WR, but we all know who has to throw it to them... so yeah.

Hate to say it Bortles homers... Henne looks like a guy that's ready to play.

I.... I'm just..... What?

How can you take anything from Bortles performance last night? 4 of his passes we're tight spirals and very accurate. He had one throw away under pressure. Not sure what more we wanted from him. He was accurate and made good decisions in his limited time.

He did not throw an interception.   That's what I take away from his performance.   With Fournette back there, hopefully, he won't be forced into the kind of bad decisions he made so many times last year.   It's easy to become a game manager if you're handed something that can be managed.   But if we're behind by 14 points, Bortles has to start taking chances, and that's bad. 

So, I'm just hoping he can be a better game manager this year.   Don't turn the ball over.
