Quote:i guess you really hate Chad? no? if you did hate Chad, you missing my point would be entirely acceptable. i have tried to stress he isn't a world beater and he is not going to make those around him play better. i think everyone around here understands that. if he were that caliber of player, the jags wouldn't have selected bb5 (is this the standard nickname?) 3rd overall. his NFL career to date has been unremarkable, but so largely had been his cast (to clarify, he has had at least two stud receivers). the last time he had a great supporting cast (Michigan), he also played well. the opinions on him vary widely. someone called him captain checkdown, someone else said he throws too many picks. why? he knows how to take care of the ball, but he isn't afraid to try to make a play. that's a great trait in a qb. i hope Bortles has this same trait, but if it turns out he's not elite like Henne hopefully his supporting cast will go after the ball.

 

I don't hate Chad at all. I just don't see how he is going to be a lot better then he has already shown, even with a better team surrounding him. He could certainly show some improvement with a better team around him, but him getting a lot better, I am going to have to see it to believe it.

 

I hope you are right and that he plays great with a better team around him.

 

The one thing that I think everyone in here will agree with 100% is: If the Jags are going to have a better overall season then last year, THEY HAVE TO GET MUCH BETTER PLAY AT THE QB POSITION.

 

Whoever plays QB for the Jags next season, the production simply has to be much better then last season. It's as simple as that. IMPROVE at QB.
