Quote:So did Ryan Leaf.  I'm sorry for you that you don't see how silly it is to bring Peyton in as THE example.  I'm not gonna argue this point anymore, it's futile.

 

Again I'm not comparing Bortles to Manning and saying that Bortles is going to do what Manning has done.  My point with the comparison is to temper everybody here so they realize that it takes time to learn the game.   That's the point.  I have a feeling that in reality we're not far off of the same point.  I simply am using a comparison to point out the same result, but you're misinterpreting my comparison.  

 

Again, the point that I take away from the Peyton comparison is that it takes time to learn the game, and even the best in the history of the NFL needed to go through it.

 

The way that applies to Blake is to simply have people calm down.  He's learning still, but even with him learning the team is better than we were with our other option.  Give him the time to learn.
