Quote:The first point is true, but pretty irrelevant. We don't know what they were focusing on, but we do know that guys run patterns down the field on practically every play. Henne constantly goes to the checkdown not because the coaching staff thinks he needs more practice doing what he's done his entire career, he constantly goes to the checkdown because that's how he plays.

 

The rest of your post was already addressed by me. No team plays in the preseason like they're going to play in the regular season. Henne faced vanilla just like Bortles did. The difference is that Bortles clearly sees the field and has a desire to always attack the furthest downfield that he can while Henne is only capable of the opposite.

 

Like I said, Bortles did what is expect of an elite talent in the preseason (made everyone on the other team look outplayed) while Henne did what is expected of a backup QB talent during the preseason and every other game in his career and made the other team look good.
