It's a matter of Bortles not being ready yet.

 

And a lot of the same fans who want him thrown in now will be singing a different song if he gets started, gets hammered behind a porous offensive line, throws plenty of rookie interceptions and makes the mistakes that a first year starter at QB without supporting talent where he needs it will inevitably make.

 

Last time things looked this bad, Luke McCown was starting. "Anyone but McCown" didn't exactly make things better, did it?

 

Again, none of this should come as a great surprise to anyone. Henne was always statistically not that far off Gabbert when the two were competing, and we all know Gabbert isn't exactly a first-ballot hall of famer. Bortles being better is hardly a surprise - we all knew that anyway, including the coaching staff.
