I'd give Bortles the first 4 games of the season and then shut him down for the rest of the year if he continues single handedly costing us games like he's done since he came into the league. He's better than Henne but I'm not sure the record is going to be much different with either of them. They're both bad but in different ways. I'm just imagining the boos that will rain down on the team with the 3 and outs that will undoubtedly come with Henne starting. But as soon as you realize Bortles isn't your guy you pretty much have to shut him down with that 5th year albatross, I mean option around his neck. We're about as close to realizing he's not the guy as you can get. The fact Henne wasn't named starter yet tells me this was probably all a ruse from the get go to light a fire under Blake's rear end.

The decision to pick up the option was amateur hour by the front office.
