I agree.  I'm not here saying Bortles is going to blow the world away or be the second coming of Roethlisberger, but the hate he is getting here is pathetic based on the previous product here.

I just hope the line holds up.  Take less chances, decrease the mistakes/interceptions and I think the season will dramatically change.

For my part, any "hate" (not really that), is directed at Mr. Caldwell for making such a ridiculous stretch.  Multi-millions in the bank or not, I actually have empathy for Bortles, a seemingly good guy otherwise, in a position he does NOT have the skills to succeed in.  Money isn't everything, that has to be hard on the guy, because he knows it...
