Quote:Maybe looking at the bigger picture would be playing Bortles so the team is ready next year to win a championship...You don't get better by not playing.


Rodgers sat for years and he still wan't at his best until he actually played a couple of seasons

That's a bad example. Many people could attest to him sitting as the reason he's so good.


I'm not even saying sit bortles for the year. I'm saying the front office will sit him until they feel he is naturally ready with his newly learned footwork. Maybe its another month, maybe its 2, none of us know.


Also I only have to worry about myself. The front office has to worry about a multi million dollar franchise with lots of employees and fans. Caution of my own life vs a major NFL franchise is totally different.


And again, its not caution, its technique. These guys had a plan all along and they're sticking to it for what they believe will produce a better long term product. (Yes I understand that bortles is already better than henne)


The idea is that bortles sitting will develop into an even better player than bortles now and provide more for the franchise. There is no reason to deviate from the plan just because you want to see bortles play right now.


Sustained success is better than a flash in the pan.
