Quote:Yes I did want Bortles broght along slowly (meaning not starting until the bye week or so)....

 

But now that he is in there, they aren't doing him any favors by not attacking the whole field on a regular basis. If anything it would make his life easier as the defense wouldn't be able to play their game in the same 10-15 yard box. Gotta keep a defense on its heels. 

 

No one's saying to throw downfield every throw, thats just your hyperbole. I think you should at least take 1 shot deep downfield on average every quarter of play. 

 

I don't care about Bortles INT's on deep throws. They are no worse than a punt. And more often then not they will either be caught or generate a pass interference flag, once he and the receivers start getting some confidence which can only be got through repetitions. 

 

 

I guess you're just mad since you were so God-awful wrong on your Andrew Luck assertions, and I am turning out right on them. 

 

 

Poor memory? Me??? In 2002, The Jags, despite a sub par roster, and it was.....was within 7 points in almost every one of their losses that year. They actually had a positive point differential, despite a 6-10 record. 

 

Coaching indeed was quality. Tom Coughlin being fired was the cause of the curse put on this team, not beating Dan Marino in the playoffs. 

 

Coaching was never the main reason those 2000-2002 teams had losing records and we jettisioned Tom anyway and replaced him with a downgrade; a guy that indeed had issues as a head coach.
