After listening to today's post OTA presser, Gus had good things to say about Bortles. He says that he's improving. He also says he looks like a rookie. Probably the most important thing he said is that Blake will look much better once he is comfortable with the playbook, and the plays become second nature.

 

I think there lies the reasoning behind sitting Bortles, and why there is little if any chance of it changing anytime soon. This team wants him to intimately know this offense and to have a thorough knowledge of the playbook before there is any thought to putting him into the line of fire. On top of that, there are some coaching items that the team wants to work with Blake on and correct prior to him taking command of the offense.

 

I think it's smart. I love the approach.

 

More than anything, it certainly appears to lay to rest the idea that things are going to miraculously change overnight. They have a plan and a roadmap for this, and it appears that they are going to stick to it.
