Bortles also played as expected, including essentially yet another horrible Pick-6.  He was also playing largely against 2-3 teamers.  Did you watch his throws even in warmups? THE DUDE CANT THROW AT AN NFL LEVEL, NEVER COULD, PERIOD.  

The options remain bad, THANKS CALDWELL AND FO, but I'll easily take the guy who can at least throw the ball at something that resembles NFL caliber.  And sorry, we may not like to say it, but that's Henne. I really can't comprehend the folks calling for Bortles groundhogs day at this point. Or do you actually think he can throw the ball and make better mental decisions than Henne?  Because if you think that, I seriously question your football experience, acumen, or eyesight.

I would agree for the most part, but the Cole drop wasn't a perfect pass, it was just a good pass.

Cole had his man barely beaten to the outside but the throw was on the inside of the defender, and may be why it wasn't caught. Perfect would be if the throw were a couple of years closer to the sideline easier than making Cole have to fight back to the middle when the defender was on his inside hip.

If Bortles didn't make that terrible decision on the interception thrown Hurns way I'd say he had the clearly better game, but thanks to that stupid decision his otherwise clearly better game goes back to being questionable. Other than that he clearly has the athleticism and desire to make plays that Henne is sorely missing.
