Quote:Sitting and developing Bortles fundamentals is what is best for him and the team in the long term.   The focus should be on the next ten years, not this training camp or  Week 1.   The Jaguars aren't winning a Superbowl this year.     I don't care about being better than Henne today, I care about Bortles reaching 100% of his ceiling rather than 75% or 80% .    Until his footwork and mechanics are fixed, he'll always have limitations and inconsistency with his accuracy.   "Guts" don't have anything to do with it.  

Spot On Again. He will understudy until ready.

Quote:I don't see any real way for Bortles to win the job in the preseason anyway, so Henne will be my guess to start the season.

Henne will get almost all the snaps with the first team, and preseason games are preseason games, certainly not indicative of regular season rosters, so how is Bortles supposed to impress the coaches?

 

Unless Henne totally implodes or is injured he's got the job.

 

What I'm curious about is - what if the Jaguars are 1-5 and the natives are getting restless? Say Henne throws a couple of picks in games #7 and things are starting to get ugly? What does Bradley do? 

The <i>person</i> is smart. <i>People</i> are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it!

Poor Metric to base a decision on and not something likely to happen given what we have been told.

 

With Chad's knowledge of the system and continious hard work combined with new weapons, we need to recognize that

this is a transition year. We could see Blake in limited action and probably will later.

 

Your injury modifier is a very real scenario, however we could call Bouman off the tractor :woot:
