I do agree with this.  I think Bortles had become very dependent upon Robinson, and because of that, a lot of our offense did run through him.  By removing him from the equation, we're seeing other guys getting an opportunity to gain his confidence.  When/if Robinson returns, I think the team will be better off for this chance for other guys to gain the trust of the QB, especially if he ends up sticking around beyond this year.
