Bortles Developing Faster than anticipated?
|
Quote:If that's the approach you want to take, then Bortles should be starting now if he's better than Henne. That isn't the approach we've been told is being taken, though. Bortles is sitting until he's ready to play, not until he's the best option. If that's the case now, why would it change just because Henne sucks? Here's my issue with this: Bradley has said from day one that this team is all about competition. Every position is a competition for playing time and the guy who wins that competition will play. Why is it now so different for the QB's? I just don't think he can talk about competition all the time then say that Henne is the starter even though Bortles clearly is the better player (if he continues to show). Quote:My thoughts on Blake that don't deserve it's own thread. Here are my thoughts on Blake Bortles. There's some things that separate Blake from Blaine, and I'll be making excuses for Blake and Blaine. I say this because I think the excuses I make for Blaine can be an absolute positive for Blake Why are you talking about Blaine Gabbert? Gabbert doesn't compare in any catagory to Bortles. Quote:Against pretty much no pass rush. Throw him up against a team blitzing heavily and it could be a different story, and one with a less happy ending. Of all the teams we play, Houston blitzed the most last season (46% of dropbacks). Houston only allowed 200 passing yards per game, but that's because they were behind so much that other teams ran the ball more. Even though they only allowed 200 passing yards per game, the average opposing team QB rating was 94 because they allowed 29 passing TD's (tied for 5th most in the league) to only 7 INT's (fewest in the league). To me, that shows that their blitzes didn't have the effect they wanted. So that's just one example of why I'm not afraid of blitz packages. If you want another example, the Jags blitzed the least of all 32 teams (only 17%) and our defense was improving at the end of the year. (Blitz source: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/20...blitzing/) When Bortles was under pressure, he made the right decisions. One was a big completion for a first down as he was getting hit. The other was a sack he took where he did the right thing by not trying to force anything when he realized he was being hit. The game isn't too big for him. Henne is hot garbage even when the opposing teams aren't blitzing. Let it go. Start the kid. |
