Gimme a break...

This dude is the epitome of say it is one way until the franchise does another and then say it had to be that way all along.

"so and so is the starter" until he isn't
"they like Jack at MLB and Poz at SLB they wouldn't switch em back" oops they did..
"Henne will win/won the starting gig"... except he didn't.

Is what he said not true? Apparently it is because Allen is indeed gone and never was part of the conversation outside message boarders and social.

I guess that depends on if you want to believe it or not.
lol
I honestly believe this franchise has cut off its nose to spite its face with the whole QB conundrum. And I've said many times before, I'm not claiming Allen to be the 2nd coming of Brady...
but keeping him on would offer some actual hope for the season when Bortles is eventually pulled/injured/whatever...
And they did want him for the PS, (and they held him on the 53 last year) so it isn't like he's just some scrub.

But they didn't want to make the bold move of releasing Bortles or Henne.
And so.... when we're 1-7 after 8 games and they trot out Henne to save the season... you'll see it in the seats.
And like many have pointed out elsewhere, it seems they aren't even trying.

And you can say they know what they are doing all you want... I used to say the same thing when people criticized a GM or HC moves...
No I don't think something John has to say in his awful Ozone should be the conversation ender of anything.

However... I am already tired of arguing the subject of a player no longer with the organization... Just wanted to throw in my opinion on it all before the season starts and the board is flooded with "ermergerd we are teh sucks" threads...
And of course... the usual suspects post their "the franchise made the right move" (despite making all the wrong moves) posts.
Alls I'm saying is... a season down the drain would be far more palatable watching BA run and gun for the final 5 or 6 games or whatever, as opposed to watching Henne play statue and get crushed.

Hopefully ALLLL of this is moot and Bortles suddenly is a good QB for us.
But based on the past, the future looks grim.
