Roethlisberger: "Bortles is ahead of the game."

#23

Quote:Or you could be experiencing irrational exuberance.  Don't get me wrong, I agree it does feel and seem as though we have our guy.   I'll just wait to see what he looks like in the 2nd half of the season... you know, when teams actually have sufficient tape on him.  I mean... our point of comparison for Bortles is Henne.  Most starting QBs in the league would compare favorably to Henne.  There are probably many backups that would as well.

 

I don't think Bortles is just going to assume his position as a top 5 QB in this league or even a top 10 without significant work and without the normal ups and downs that rookies and young players in general typically experience.

 

I feel like such a Debbie Downer writing this.

 

Disregard everything above....  CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
 

You are not a Debbie Downer. This is exactly what I said in the McCrazy vs. Gratz thread - don't judge a player based on one game. But the only player you can compare Bortles to right now is Roethlisberger. The article in the OP explains why.
