Quote:And see that's where we differ in opinion. I think that does play a role. The coaches have told me he will sit so I think he should sit. Yeah I know I'm a fan and I have me own eyes and all that crap. You know what else I realized, that after we drafted the kid I and about 98% of the other people on this board don't know jack about how to evaluate a qb.


When watching him I college I would have never thought he would adjust this fast. This is one of those moments where I trust the team on this one. You guys want to argue for the sake of arguing. Soon as this realization sits in, I think this will go a lot smoother for you guys.


Caldwell could careless what we think and that's why I like him. I think he'd sit Bortles for the year if he really wanted to, to prove his point. The guy showed me he has a pair and he has my trust in his judgement.

You make too many assumptions on what I think.


I'm not arguing for the sake of arguing. I'm arguing because in my honest opinion, Blake is ready for battle. He's ready and earned the chance to play. Simple as that.


He's going to be playing sooner rather than later. I also know he'll play "when he's ready" but that doesn't mean I have to agree with when he's ready. I trust Gus and Dave but I don't agree with every choice they make. This happens to be one I think is incorrect.


If Dave and Gus were set on Bortles sitting they sure should have found something different than Henne at QB. He'll be fine holding the clipboard for Blake but the guy simply has never been starter material.


If the team thinks Blake sitting and Chad starting is best for Bortles development then great. That doesn't mean I have to agree and it also doesn't automatically make them correct.


If Blake had huge major glaring flaws I could see the argument. If Blake seemed like he wasn't capable of handling the mental stress of the game that would be different. However he's shown us since the scrimmage that is not the case.


This is not Gabbert were dealing with here. Blake has all the things Gabbert never had, the things that make him ready to handle the starting job.


I will trust Gus and Dave but once again that does not mean I agree. I personally think Blake will be better off being able to play and learn by doing, sue me.
