Quote:If Bortles is going to be in the lineup this season, I don't agree with the reasoning not to start him the first game. This line is not going to get a whole lot better. He's not going to get many meaningful reps in practice where his mechanics will become 'second nature'. Hell, there's a good chance that will never happen. He is certainly going to take some lumps and not play perfectly. Rookies make mistakes, so what. And the guy certainly doesn't seem to have the mental makeup to wilt like an old flower like another ex-QB.


I've got to live with whatever they do, but I don't have to agree with it.


I think you could actually be putting more pressure on him if you put him in because Henne is yanked for poor play.
