Quote:It does, however compare to the 2008 Falcons and the 2012 Dolphins. Each of those teams had a rookie QB start from day one. I certainly have no problem with sitting Bortles if he isn't ready, it's the only logical thing to do. That being said, if he is ready, I am not afraid of him being ruined either.
 

The conversation was about the comparison between Bortles and Roethlisberger. 

 

The Atlanta comparison is probably closest to the situation here.  The Falcons were coming off a 4-12 season, and was re-tooling the offense and a tired defense.  I'm not sure they had quite the roster purge the Jags did when Caldwell took over, but clearly the formula is similar enough thanks to the common thread he represents.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
