Cam Newton instantly added wins to a team that was bad enough to draft him 1st overall.
Kirk Cousins took a team RGme couldn't move forward with and made them a playoff team.
Big Ben has elevated his team around him ever since he was a Steeler.... he wasn't loaded on talent until most recently on the offensive side of the ball.

Regardless of how you keep trying to throw around excuses for Bortles.... Even with a better run game and a better OL, this team still has to game plan around Bortles to win.
HE WAS A TOP 5 SELECTION!!!!!!

I think you've officially taken the place of JDub as the most DENSE poster on the board spacecoast.

Not banging the drum for Bortles , but you just called someone dense after saying Ben was not loaded with talent around him? He came into the league walking into a ready made dynasty around him!!!

I specifically was referring to offense. Yeah he had Hines Ward and the Bus for awhile in the early years... but not until the last few seasons have they loaded up on that side of the ball.

I don't deny that he walked into a very good team, and Tomlin won a SB because of the defense that was built there in Pitt.
But as Big Ben made his way into his 3rd and 4th seasons (where Bortles is now) he elevated the play of others around him.

Bortles was a top 5 selection. And in his 4th year, we have to gameplan around him. We have to limit the amount of throws he makes. 
In his 4th year... he elevates the play of no one. If anything he brings down the play of others.

This team is loaded with all he needs even without Arob.  It doesn't fit YOUR narrative.

Quick Name a QB who loses their #1 WR before the season starts and makes the playoffs?! Cam Newton is the ONLY one I can think of.

Aaron Rodgers lost Jordy Nelson and still made the playoffs I think.

I believe teams lose guys all the time. QBs that are ACTUALLY good, tend to overcome these things.
Bortles can't overcome himself.... much less losing his #1 "jump ball" receiver.

Bortles will be starting next year

For what team?
