Quote:I definitely don't want Bortles to start. I'm totally happy with him coming into the game late in the 4th with the game totally out of reach. It's great experience to build on without all the pressure and it's the necessary baby steps you need to take to get him adjusted to the speed of the next level.. 

 

He's going to need a lot of work to address the footwork and mechanics issues.  The kind of time required makes him fortunate to land in a situation where he doesn't have to be rushed into starting.  He'll get plenty of reps in training camp, and he'll see more than his fair share of playing time in the preseason.  Once the season starts, it'll be about continuing to develop the muscle memory for the mechanical issues, and the mental aspect of the game in watching film and studying.  There is zero rush to get him on the field.  There's no sense of urgency at all, and that's a good thing.
