Quote:No it doesn't. What it seems like is the coaches want to build chemistry between Bortles and the other 10 starters so whenever he is needed because of injury, he will not be thrown into the fire like Chad Henne was in Oakland. A big reason we lost that game was after Blaine Gabbert got hurt, Henne was totally unprepared and didn't gel at all with the receivers or offensive line. Having Bortles practice with the starters allows our offense to avoid a similar disaster if Henne gets hurt.
Henne wasn't our problem, he threw for 354 yards and 4 TDs, It had something to do with playing one of the best teams in the league that year and Matt Schaub throwing for 527 yards and 5 TDs. Sometimes, teams are just better than yours. Johnson had 273 receiving yards. I'd be willing to say that we were only IN THAT GAME because of Henne and Blackmon. Gabbert could have never kept us in that shoot out.


It was the 8-1 Texans vs. the 1-8 Jaguars not a surprise we lost that one
