The funny thing is with the offensive line once again being reshuffled, putting Bortles in there and running the risk of injury behind a completely untested group is completely logical to the malcontents.  If they put him out there and he got hurt behind that line, the same idiots would be howling about how stupid it was to put their best QB out there in that situation knowing it put him in harms way.

FBT...you're exactly right. I listened today when the starting lineup was announced for the O-Line; the youth is unbelievable. Beadles, being the only starter with any significant experience. Fans moaned and groaned when Hurns went down on what many felt was an unnecessary playcall (TBH, I was one of them). I can't fathom putting an untested rookie behind an atrocious, young line; it spells massacre....and, the fans would be livid with anger. Bortles will get in, and it's looking like sooner than what we were told...but, I personally feel uncomfortable inserting him behind that line.


As far as the fans being a joke? I travel the country extensively for my job, and even moved here from Dallas (former Cowboys season ticket holder), and I can say that the Jaguars fan isn't seen as a joke; it's the team, their record, and even some of the moves they've made. Maybe someone else has experienced something different, but I personally haven't. I'd much more rather be a Jaguars fan than a Cowboys fans; the "future" is very bright here in Jacksonville...can't really say that about Dallas. Do I want to see Bortles? Heck yes!! But, not behind an offensive line that hasn't performed well together, nor behind a line that will see him being carted off the field. It's a risk vs. reward scenario; will Bortles get us into the playoffs with our current lineup, and if not, will the risk be worth it?
