Quote:He's only started two games and played in the second half of the Colts game.  What first 5 games are you talking about? 

 

If you are including preseason, I already cited some of the reasons the regular season performance would be less than the preseason performance.

 

But Kotite IS a relevant basis for comparison when the point is the first twenty or so games is not necessarily a good indication of whether a guy can coach or not.

 

Bullseye, you are entitled to your opinion. 

 

All I know is the Bortles I saw in his first 5 appearances as a Jaguar (and 1st half of the SD game) was pretty much the same Bortles that I saw at UCF that produced a 9.3 YPA. 

 

The Bortles of the last 6 quarters of football looks like a QB that is artificially being neutered by bad play calling. Mostly every thing short. All that does is make life easier for the defense.

 

 

I disagree that Kotite is a good comparison because Kotite took over an established playoff roster.

 

A good comparison for Kotite would be Barry Switzer.

 

Jimmy Johnson is not a good comparison for Kotite, but is a good comparison for Bradley, since they both have similar starting points (rosterwise)  in the NFL.
