Quote:We'll see.  I don't get the sense they plan to deviate from their plan, which is to play him when they deem him ready.  Not a moment sooner.  They've made that pretty clear any time they're asked, but some of you apparently have your heads buried somewhere that sound doesn't dare travel.  Neither does logic.

 

They're not answering the questions to alleviate pressure for any player.  Not when the head coach uses the word competition in just about every sentence.  Oddly, the one position where he isn't preaching that?  Yeah, that's right.  QB. 

 

Bortles isn't starting week 1.  You can book that now. 

 

When you suddenly realize what my point is about competition at the QB position, I hope your head doesn't pop like a cheap balloon.  That would be a shame to let that air loose. 

 

 

I know you're trying to be funny here, but for some of you, you're not happy unless you're stirring up some sort of controversy.  It gives you value on a message board where you're otherwise invisible, and anonymous. 

 

Oh settle down.  I never said they would want to play him before he is ready.

 

Logic would indicate that football is a competition.  A lot can change in 4 months.

 

I don't have to stir up controversy to know that there will be one.  Sorry, prepare yourself for fans to call for Bortles.  It's going to happen whether you like it or not.
