Bortles Developing Faster than anticipated?

Quote:Only one of those snaps was bad enough that it should have killed the drive. One he just didn't appear to be ready for.

 

That being said, we've seen Henne against other teams second stringers, he hasn't ever played like that in a game I've seen. Closest would be a couple of years ago against the texans, and that was only because he got monstrous YAC from Shorts and Blackmon.
 

It's obvious to everyone that Bortles has a lot more potential than Chad.  But if he cannot yet identify a blitz or make a line call to deal with it, I would not start him.   Just being "better than Chad" is not enough.   He has to be ready.    And right now, he is not ready.  Yet.
