Quote:Question.  Why does everyone keep bringing up Rodgers?  Is anyone suggesting Bortles sit for 3 years??  And how long does Aaron Rodgers sit if Chad Henne is the starter?  Aaron Rodgers isn't remotely close to the Jaguars situation right now.  The Aaron Rodgers situation is having a hall of fame QB and drafting another in the first round.  The Patriots are attempting to do what GB did, not us, but they had to settle for a 2nd rounder.

Did I say sit him for 3 years? It doesn't take that long to rework a QB's mechanics. Rodgers probably could have started his second year. I bring up Rodger's because I see where Bortles is at right now in terms of his development and his natural tools as being really similar to Rodger's coming out of Cal, except Bortles brings the tools in a bigger box. Bortles has to work on the same things Rodgers did, and he will be running a system similar to Rodgers. I think once fully developed, Bortles will be a very similar QB to Rodgers except bigger.
 

Quote:People keep fixating on Henne.  In all honesty, Bortles progression, and when he starts has nothing to do with Henne.  The similarity with Rodgers is the fact that he sat.  Nobody is suggesting Bortles sit for 3 years.  Nor are they trying to portray Henne as Favre.

I also see a lot of similarities in their playing styles and the way Bortles will be used in our system is similar to GB's West Coast system.
