Quote:The part I don't understand is the mindless backing of him.

 

I will say this, though, when Bortles comes in and the Jaguars suddenly look like a good team I don't expect any of the people peddling Henne right now to backtrack on it, they'll just act like they knew all along that Henne was holding the team down.

Couldn't possibly be that Bortles isn't ready until the week that they actually put him in? Nah, couldn't be.


Like you said a few posts ago, you were arguing with pirkster about something that neither of you know, but that's not stopping you from pretending to know when Bortles is ready to go or not.


Putting Bortles in and having him look lost and unprepared would be very damaging to a coaching staff's credibility. The only logical conclusion someone can come to regarding this situation is that Gus isn't comfortable with Bortles' grasp of the offense. Anything else is pulling things out of your rear end. But logic is lost on a lot of people on these forums, especially those who are emotionally invested in Bortles and his preseason performance. Your opinion that Bortles would have won us that game is just that, an opinion. And quite frankly, it's based on very little information for you to be as snippy about it as you are.


Nice strawman on creating Henne "backers". I've not seen anyone post anything about backing Henne. Everyone knows what we have in him. You're whole argument and desire to start Bortles immediately assumes that there is no chance that he might come in not fully prepared and be very confused at what the opposing defense throws at him. You're also already patting yourself on the back for when Bortles does come in and plays well (hopefully) and being the one who knew it all along. At this point in time, it's little more than arrogant ignorance.
