Locker Room Wants Blake Bortles To Start

Gus is right. Henne sure gives us the best chance to win. Imagine if we had Bortles in today, we'd be getting killed! P.S. John Cyprien, I miss you.
 
John: The belief has been strong to this point that Henne does give the Jaguars the best chance to win. It’s hard to get a read on if or how much that’s changing. The offensive line struggled Sunday. Really struggled. There appeared at first glance to be some plays where Henne could have done more. There also appeared at first glance to be plays where everyone could have done more. My first thought after the game was that it was hard to see where Blake Bortles could have fared much better. Henne was under that much pressure and 10 sacks is difficult to overcome. My later thoughts have been that you do wonder if Bortles had fared better. We don’t know, but there will be a lot of questions this week about whether we’re closer to finding out.
 
Tonight's O-Zone.
 
Who exactly has had that strong belief?

Very good question. The whole team saw Bortles lighting it up in preseason and now they see Henne generating a whole yard of offense in nearly a half of a game. I know the preseason is the preseason, but Bortles really was doing some special things. I would have to think Gus would start to lose the team if he keeps starting a player that they think gives them a lesser chance to win. All the "improving every day" stuff will start to be tuned out when they're pounded in the media every week as the losses are piling up and questions are being asked. I say let the team vote on the starter. At least that way they're losing with the guy they want leading them.
