Poll: Which coachspeak/teamspeak explanation of when Bortles will start did you like the best?
When Bortles is ready
When Bortles gives us the best chance to win (Paraphrased from Henne gives us the best chance to win)
When the pieces are in place around him (Mostly from fans, occasionally from Oehser)
When the O-Line gels (Mostly from media)
We want to let him sit all year and just learn

Quote:I don't think anyone is turning on Gus and Dave, we just don't understand the reasoning for sitting Blake! When he out played Henne in the preseason we listened to the it was because he was playing against the twos. Finally for us believers that Blake was better then Henne they let him start with the ones and we seen the same result. There never was a time during preseason that he looked overwhelmed or was affected by pressure adversely. Just the opposite he show the ability to step up in the pocket and roll out if he had to passing on the run. He passed everyone's eye test and any other criteria that you might evaluate him on. I think Dave and Gus are the corner stones of this team moving forward. That doesn't mean I have to support every decision they make! What will really make me sick is when he does get to play and lights it up they claim that sitting him was the reason he was ready to start. No one will really know if that was truly the reason.


Plus, the one time he didn't get a play from the sideline, he didn't freak out and call a timeout like Henne, he called his own play and made a great pass. The guy has got all the tools.
