What's in it for them?

 

I get being a fan and wanting Bortles to play.

 

I LOVED what I saw of him this preseason, I hated what I saw of Henne last year and am underwhelmed by what I've seen thus far this year from Henne.

 

But I don't get the conspiracy theories being floated by those who want to see Bortles play.

 

It's the coaches own fault for people thinking that they don't care if they lose.  Jedd Fisch says Bortles is ready and that they aren't worried about him getting hurt.  Then what is it?  Why doesn't he play then?  Those are pretty much the only reasons that make somewhat sense.

 

Instead they give us this crap about how they feel strongly about Chad.  It's nonsense.

 

The real reason they are being slow to do it is paranoia.  They must be worried that Bortles would have a bad first game with the team right now.  The problem is if you don't want to put the best players out there for whatever reason, then it's really like you are mailing in the season.  Fans don't like that.
