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 op 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.

I think that's an exaggeration, but the way I'd put it is with Henne you get a very consistent performance which isn't very good but that if your whole team is excellent you can plan around because you know what you're going to get even though it's not good, but there will be an interception or two that probably don't go for a TD.

With Bortles you don't know what you'll get because he has a tendency to go off script and can occasionally make a blindingly bad choice that gets you scored on. Still with this team I think it's possible for them to win more games when good Blake shows up and accept bad Blake will show up every now and then and probably cost the team a game because it's not a good enough roster to make up for it.
