Quote:first off, blake is not garaoppolo and henne is not brady. if belichich was here with bortles and henne, henne would not be named the starter. beli would have been trying to upgrade the position as soon as he got henne. with bortles doing what he has been doing, the switch would have been simple for him. whoever plays the best plays. henne has always been the same thing, henne. it didn't change over the offseason, it didn't change during the preason, it will never change. we all see it. henne should not be the starter, i don't care how many years he has played in the nfl. experience does not automatically make you better as shown by preseason play.

 

Belichick didn't even start Brady until his 2nd year, and only started him at that point because he was forced to because Bledsoe got hurt. So you can't say that Belichick would have done anything different than what Gus and Dave are doing right now. 

 

The Steelers did the same thing with starting Tommy Maddox over Roethlisberger initially...

 

and the same with the Eagles starting Doug Pederson over Mcnabb initially. 

 

 

The Jags aren't doing anything wrong or unprecedented with the way they are handling this.
