Oh, I know, but it's not a good part of the experience. FBT's better when he's talking football than when he's throwing out ad hominems, but he's too easily trolled. TMD gets his kicks from getting reactions to his schtick, reinforcing his belief that this somehow makes him smarter than the people responding to him, and FBT just feeds that.

 


 

But that's the point - if Bortles is being held back because it's beneficial to his development to do so, then throwing him in should have nothing to do with Henne's performance. If that's what's going on, then in that situation either we continue to suck it up with Henne at the helm or we declare Stanzi the starter (or hey, trade for Gabbert again). What we're being told is that Bortles is on his own timeline, and will go into the lineup when he's ready, not when the team needs him.
