Who else would you have went with?  Oh right.  Brandon Allen.  That says it all right there.  The guy who hasn't played in a regular season game.  Yeah, let's trust him to be our backup should Blake Bortles go down.  Sounds like a plan! I doubt Brandon Allen is a starter on the Rams, and they have Jared Goff as their QB, and I'd take Bortles over Goff.

This franchise is bending over itself to try to make Bortles something he isn't... and worse.. trying to make Henne something he definitely isn't.
Without giving a second look to a guy that they truly don't know.

The flaw in your logic here is that they did give him a second look.  That's what this preseason was.  And they felt he didn't show enough against the Jags back-up defense in practice to earn any playing time with the starters in preseason games.  

The coaching staff and front office of the Jags ultimately analyzed his play and deemed it unworthy of a roster spot. 

Keep in mind that this decision is a product of input from a new QB coach, a new HC, a new coordinator and the new football czar, Tom Coughlin.  Why exactly do you feel so certain that those guys all got it wrong? 

I'm not saying it's impossible for these guys to screw up such a decision, but his play vs Atlanta's back-ups made it pretty easy for me to agree with them on this one.
