Quote:I'm not here to bash our QB.  I know he has the potential to be great.  I was right there with everyone else during the pre-season.  He clearly has the talent to be great.

 

And don't get me wrong, just because I'm saying some things that may be perceived as negative doesn't mean that I see anything that can be considered to be negative.  He's a rookie and he's gonna make stupid decisions.

 

All I'm saying is that he's gotta get better.

 

The team around him is right there.  Our D has clearly turned the corner.  I mean, man!  They are killing it!  You have to give Babich credit for this turn around.  He's clearly making the most of the players and the D-Line are just freaks.

 

Fish has almost got me sold on his side of the ball as well.

 

Our WRs are progressing.  Our O-Line is getting better.  And Shoelace appears to be the type of RB that can get good yardage, but we need Storm back to pound the ball as well.  

 

Dude, we have a legitimate team.  The one thing I want to really take a jump is the QB.  I'm not saying he won't get better.  But let's face it... BB5 is the one last peice that NEEDS to get better.  

 

We're about to be contenders.  I can see it.  This game was ours, and not in a hypothetical way.  We could have very well blown this game out by the end of the 1st half.  We're on the verge of being contenders.  But it's up to BB5 to get us there.  That's just how I see it.  And that means I might be a bit over critical at times about him.  But in no way does that mean I'm worried he's gonna bust.  He's just too good to not be good.  It's just a matter of him wanting to put in the work and get better, faster.

Well for us to win this year he has to get better. I don't believe the decision to draft and play him was made for this year though. I do know that this team is young and the guys making 90% the plays on this team right now are not much than 26. That is a big deal and we are set up for a run. A long run if I my say. This will be the same defense next year with more pieces and more refined.

 

More pieces will be added to the offensive side of the ball and it will be more refined as well with the young guys. We are in a good place. With all the turmoil on the surface there is a strong foundation that has been laid. Let's sit back and watch this team develop. There is a very bright light at the end of the tunnel. Bortles is the guy. Lets let the game slow down for him. Allow him to get a full year under his belt. I'm sold on this guy.
