Quote:Good post ....... but there is no real data that supports either decision (starting in year 1 or being the backup).  Aikman, Marino, Elway, P Mannning, E Mannning, Big Ben, and many other sucessful QBs started in year 1.   Sure, some had more sucess that others in year 1 but who's to say that didn't speed up the progress that Manning and Elway experienced in year 2.  Perhaps if Carson Palmer started in year 1, he would have been more experienced and the Bungles would have won 1 more game the year they made the playoffs and had to face the Steelers in the wild card game when he got his leg severed by Kimo Von Olhoffen.

 

As stated in my earlier post, I'm just happy to see Bortles sitting because I think our Oline is still going to be pretty bad this year.
