My point should be pretty obvious.  And it was stated plainly in my opening post.

It's easy to say looking at how many points we've given up, and how many points we've made and say "This team looks like it's regressed."  Just look at the stats of last year, and you can see that we're on pace to have a worse season.

However, looking at the stats through week 5, and we see a bit of a different picture

 

It's a bit early to say that this team hasn't made progress.  I think we'll know more by the mid-season break.  At which point Bortles will have been our starter for 68% of the season (as opposed to 50%)

At the start of last year, this team looked like the worst team in NFL History.  By the end of the year, it was looking a lot different.  What we're on pace for now, won't be the same as what we're on pace for in a few weeks. We shouldn't rush to judgment just yet.  Bortles has had two full games under his belt, and that's it.  5 games isn't really a good sample size for gauging  progress -- especially when we've only had Bortles for 50% of the time.
