Quote:Here's the flaw in your logic.  There ISN'T a competition at the QB position. 

 

Bortles was drafted to be the starter for this team.  He's not competing with Henne for that job.

 

Henne was re-signed to be the starter for this team until Bortles is ready to assume that role.  He's not competing with Bortles for the job either. 

 

I don't know why this is so difficult to understand.  The ONLY competition here is between Bortles and himself.  How quickly he can develop the level of confidence with Gus and Dave in his ability to assume the starting role is all on him.  

Quote:Caldwell has already said they wouldn't make a change in that scenario. 

Quote:The notion that it's a competition would have merit if the team hadn't already said he's the starter when they determine he's ready to assume that role.  They didn't say anything about an open competition.  They didn't even hint at competition.  He's the starting QB when he's ready.  They've even spoken to Henne to make sure he understands his role and what the possibilities are. 

 

It has been laid to rest multiple times.  The problem here is some folks just won't pull their heads out of the sand and listen to what the head coach and GM are saying.
