Quote:I really really DON't want to trash it. 

 

Honestly. 

 

And I won't. 

 

Am I disappointed? 

 

Yes. 

 

I thought we could have traded down and maybe still gotten Bortles. I would have liked that deal that Cleveland got from Buffalo with the 1st rounder in 2015. 

 

But I am willing to give it a chance. 

 

 

Dave Caldwell, has just put himself out there though. Like Gene Smith with Gabbert....Dave's Jags legacy will be judged on this pick. 

A GM's legacy is always judged on picks.

 

We got the Hometown guy, that is very decent. Pro-Style offense, He just needs a little more time.

 

I know a little while backed I bashed him, but after doing some more comparisons, he is a very good QB compared to  Henne and Gabbert.

 

I also know that I compared him to Chad Henne in college, and that his stats were almost similar to Bortles. I forgot about one thing though: TALENT!

 

Henne had higher level recruits around him, like: Mario Manningham, Jake Long, Mike Hart, Steve Breaston. Just to name a few.

 

As for Bortles, besides Storm Johnson, who else can you name? Don't worry I'll wait.

 

Just have to look at the whole picture, be patient and see what happens. Bortles has the chance to be the best QB Jacksonville EVER had. And that is a huge Brunell fan saying that. *Cheers*
