It's either Bortles or Henne and at this point I can't see them putting Bortles back on the field again.

Marrone appeared to be furious last night in the 5 minutes clip on jaguars.com, he spoke calmly but you could feel how angry he was about the performance of the entire team.
Bortles won't be the only guy losing his place/roster spot.

Yeah I agree. It's always "the two QBs"

I think they should give Allen some reps with the ones during practice this week, but doesn't sound like Marrone is too high on him winning that job

Yes, that "the 2 QB's" was telling. Also the face he made when he was asked if Allen was in the competion was quite telling too. He then went on to say "well yes he's there too" but seems more diplomacy than him believing in that option.

I agree, Allen deserve some reps with the starters. It was reported pretty much everyday that he had a very good day during practices (ok, against weaker competition), maybe he won't be the saviour but what do we have to lose at this point? Give the kid some reps and see how he does, we know Bortles and Henne well enough.
