What  we seen on Friday was the same check down henne  who constantly throws the ball on third and log short of the first down marker. Most of the time he stares down one receiver an seldom goes to his second and third option. That's how it has been in the past and was Friday night.  I'm not crazy about Blake but he out played Henne Friday and won that games battle.  If they don't have confidence in Blake then I don't care how late int the preseason it is they need to bring in a QB to help win this year and draft the the future next year. All the money Khan spends on upgrades will not increase fan support if this team is under 500 again this year. We can't take a chance of Henne delivering a concussion by hitting the online players in the back of the head with passes.

Henne as a starter is a ridiculous idea, but Bortles continued lack of mental growth makes it harder than it should be to make the decision.

That said it's clear that for this team Henne wouldn't win many games no matter what, but there's still a chance Bortles gets hot for a few games or just starts to mentally get it. Either way if Bortles doesn't win a lot of games it's likely he'll find himself cut in the off-season.

I think ultimately it comes down to which turd has the most up side.  Neither option is really going to spark inspiration, but behind that line at least you have a QB in Bortles who can extend plays.  That's all I've got.  Two crappy options to pick from.  A turnover master or a check down machine.  It's like picking between the fat ugly girl eager to please, or the smoking hot girl with every known STD. Sometimes you've just gotta throw caution to the wind.
