Quote:First off, you still didn't address the play of Henne during the preseason. If the preseason is so much different, then why did preseason Henne look as pathetic as regular season Henne? Bortles preseason play is not indicative, but Henne's is? Riiiight!


Secondly, I think Allen Hurns proves that preseason performance does indeed give an indication of which players are better. In the other direction, ask Mike Brewster whether or not the preseason matters.


If it's a matter of getting Bortles new mechanics to become second nature before throwing him in, then it make sense to keep him on the bench. But in that case he shouldn't be the backup, since it would screw up his mechanics if Henne was injured.
