It doesn't really matter because we weren't likely playoff bound anyway, but I think we can all (hopefully) agree that Bortles sitting the first few weeks really wasn't going to make a difference. The kid is a stud and 100 times the QB Henne has ever been and ever will be. The notion that he would "play when he was ready" is totally arbitrary, vague, and dumb. "Look he's playing now so that's when they decided he was ready! This was their plan all along! Perfect!" Yeah... So he was ready at halftime of the Colts game but not before the game? Give me a break.

 

I'm just glad Gus realized his mistake, that Henne was absolute trash (although he did much later than just about everyone else in the football watching world) and swallowed his pride to name the kid the starter. Should've been a no brainer from day one. And I think that was the first huge error that has resulted in a ton of snowballing displeasure for Bradley in 2014.
