But it is nice to see this next era in our franchise unfold.

 

Don't be torn.  Let the PLAYER play, my brother.  If he can't hack it, we will know soon enough.  From what we saw in the 2nd half, he's more than capable.  I just hope Fish figures out how to actually coach a gamer like BB5.  If not, we'll be looking for a new OC soon...

 

 

Quote:He's not stepping into a stable situation, and there should be genuine concern. It's going to be ugly, but it will be a good test to see what we have in Bortles. If he lives up to expectations, great. If he doesn't, the luminaries who dismiss the concerns wil simply declare him a bust.

 

Oh NO!!!!!  We took a franchise QB and are playing with poop house players around him!  If he can't hack it, what have we lost?  This team blows.  The O-Line blows.  Shorts stinks to high heaven.  Gerhart is a joke.   We might as well figure this all out now instead of next year.  

 

I, for one, see BB5 as being legit.

 

I'm not gonna wring my hands worrying about the personnel around him.  He's gonna have to figure it out.  LEARN BY DOING. That's the best way to do it.  This is a pass fail league.  Once you are up to speed, you need to take the test.

 

It's time for Bortles to do this.  

 

He's ready.  He's so ready that I think we could have made this game much closer if he started....
