Quote:If the trend continues and for his career he doesn't trust the offensive line and starts looking down and rushing his passes, not making proper reads or using proper footwork, he will be a "stink butt QB." That's why all the "Henne mousebreeders" were ok with Henne serving as the sacrificial lamb behind that offensive line for the majority of this year.

 

Bortles handled the line decently enough through 3 games, but like you pointed out, we're starting to see some of the negative effects of the most embarrassing offensive line in the league seeping into Bortles' game. There's still 11 more games left before help comes. We'll see how well Bortles continues to deal with this line, but there's definitely cause for concern.

 

The all recent HOF QBs also look like punks when their O-Line breaks down...   That's what I'm hanging my hat on...  

 

Brady is a chump when he doesn't have a clean pocket.  But he can pick D's apart when he has some time and trust.

 

BB5, once he figures out D's and has a better O-line may very well be better than Brady...

 

Let's just let this play out.

 

As is the common vernacular, in terms of the O-Line, help is NOT on the way.

 

So BB5 is gonna get some trial by fire.  But I don't think it means he's gonna turn into a Gabbert or Kyle Boller type player.  

 

He's got the skills.  He just needs time and an O-line.  He'll be fine
