Quote:Reason's we've heard for starting Henne instead of Bortles...

 

 

#2. "Bortles will benefit from observing Henne from the bench until he (Bortles) is ready..."

fact: Bortles surprised everyone with how effective he is, even against the 1st string. He clearly had a better showing in the pre-season than Henne.

fact: if you're going to want your future starter to learn from someone, wouldn't you prefer it to be a star rather than a career back-up?

 

 

 

This is your weakest point...  Coincidentally it's the point I think is the most wise as to why BB5 hasn't started yet.

 

Your fact that BB5 showed better then Henne is rather weak.  If you watched Henne in the pre-season, he was also very effective at moving the chains...  The style points definately go to BB5, but Henne played more snaps against the opposing team's 1st string and did well...  Could that possibly mean that the pre-season is a rather weak indicator of regular season success?  I mean, if Henne looked pretty good in preseason also, but is weak in the regular season, it does shoot down the arguement that because BB5 killed it in the pre-season he's gonna be all pro...

 

Just let it play out, friend.  BB5 will be starting pretty soon. 

 

To take this point which is the most valid--- Bortles needs to see regular season game tape and learn how the regular season routine is run--- makes sense to me.
