Quote:This is ALL about some sort of feeling of obligation to chad. He wouldnt be starting otherwise. Fisch said today that bortles would be ready. So there you have it. We finally have a qb, and our staff doesnt have the balls to pull the trigger.

I can't see that being the case. Gus and the staff must really believe there's something to be gained doing it this way.

 

Gus and Dave are playing with fire right now. Either they think the team isn't ready for Bortles, or Bortles isn't ready for the team, but either way it's their necks on the line.

 

If they wait until next year to play him and he has a typical first year kind of experience and the Jaguars don't even make it to .500 it'll be Gus and Dave called into Shad's office, not Chad and Blake.
