Quote:Bortles may not have run an NFL offense yet, but he has run an offense at the college level. As long as he has decent protection and receivers running the right routes he will be just fine live and maybe better than the scrimmage. QB's either have "it" or they don't and I believe Bortles cup runnethover with "it". I  don't care if he sits the season if the o-line can't protect because there is no need to create another David Carr situation. If the line is better this year put him in when his footwork is fixed. And GO JAGS!!!!!

  You can't compare college offenses to pro offenses or college defenses to NFL defenses.

Every year, you hear about players talk about how their NFL playbook resembles a phone book, and is typically much thicker than the college playbook.

 

Pro football is a far more complex game and there is much more information for a QB to process.
