Quote:Yeah, I agree with you that it is a huge deal to overcome.  I wasn't trying to dismiss that.  We did truly lose 2.5 games of development of the QB though by him not starting.  That all is encompassed with the conversation we have had up to this point.  Let me restate that I do agree the changes on the line have slowed their development as a unit.  It still hurts the 2-3 guys more so having to deal with a new QB and new members on the line.  That is one more adjustment than you want to take place at one time usually.  

I think you're overestimating the impact of not working with Bortles for the first 2 weeks.  Especially with the changes on the line.  When he stepped in there, they didn't have any problem adjusting to the change.  I didn't see any plays out there where the line was struggling because they didn't know where their QB was.  They were struggling because they were being overwhelmed by more guys to block than they had bodies to do the job.
