Quote:How is the rest of the young offense, particularly the WRs, supposed to develop with Chad Henne at QB?!  This is the one thing that has never made a lick of sense to me with the staff sitting Bortles.  I've heard it mentioned that they want the "environment" around Blake to grow and be ready for him.  How in the world is a WR going to develop to a respectable level with a guy that can't play the QB position at an even average level on a regular basis?  If we had a respectable veteran playing I would be much more inclined to agree with sitting Bortles.    

 

CSIII developed just fine (barring his injury issues which are unrelated to the guy taking snaps) with Gabbert and Henne. 

 

That being said, I think the real reason behind keeping Bortles on the bench was shown yesterday. If our o-line is going to be allowing that many sacks on the QB, then they'd rather it be Henne than Bortles. You can argue that Bortles would be able to avoid those sacks all you want, but ultimately, that determination remains with Bradley.
