Quote:Spoiled fans in regards to how they behave.  You know, they throw little tantrums on message boards demanding the team fire a head coach, thinking that if they whine long enough, and loudly enough, something will change.  You're the poster girl for this group. 

 

Gus hasn't been here for 14 years, so that's not on him.  Neither has the owner or GM.  I understand you must cling to the past in order to fuel your incessant whining, so I get why you have to bring that up.

 

As far as the current struggles, the team has started to right the ship.  Nobody expected it to be pretty this year.  What I find interesting is that you were the biggest proponent of keeping Bortles off the field for as long as possible right up to the point where Bortles took the field.  Now you're whining that he's being handcuffed, even though that's not the case at all, especially in the game yesterday.  We've seen the playbook progressively expanding with Bortles, which is EXACTLY what you'd expect with a rookie QB. 

 

It must be nice to play both sides of the fence.  I know you're a big fan of straddling those fence posts. 

 

I was one of the biggest proponents of letting Bortles wait until midseason before starting had they been able to pull that off. 

 

That said, I was never, ever a proponent of shackling Bortles once he was named full time starter, whenever it was going to be. Once he was starting, the best way to develop a franchise QB is to let him let it fly, throw his INT's, learn from them and be aggressive and develop a killer instinct -  not force him to be a game manager. So no fence straddling by me at all. 

 

The good thing is that they seemed to take the shackles off Bortles a bit yesterday and let him play HIS game. Contrary to the previous 6 consecutive quarters of football. 

 

 

 

Also, why did you bring up the behind the scenes stuff regarding Mularkey if you had no intention of talking about it? Just trying to sound important with your little "sources" inside the stadium or what? Kinda bush league to even bring it up and not elaborate.
