Quote:Hey look, the lack of reading comprehension on this board has once again reared it's moronic head.

 

NO ONE has said Bortles will have the same type of career as Manning. NO ONE has said Bortles will be as good as Manning. NO ONE has said that Bortles is expected the be as good as Manning.

 

The Manning comparison has been made to show one point and one point only (see if you and the other like you can wrap your head around it):

 

If one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game had a rookie season similar to Bortles, then it is FAR TOO SOON to start calling Bortles a bust; it is FAR TOO SOON to say Bortles has reached his ceiling, and it is FAR TOO SOON to say that Bortles will never improve.

 

That's it. That's all anyone is saying. Bortles might be a bust, he might not. But it's TOO EARLY TO TELL.

 

And clamoring that "Bortles has to improve" isn't proving anything. No crap Sherlock, everyone is well aware of the fact that Bortles has to play better. For all the insightful intelligence of that commentary, you might as well follow it up by clamoring that water is wet. 

Ok, so you're gonna call me out on reading comprehension and intelligence, yet you obviously didn't read thru all my posts.  Thanks for underlining the obvious, if you hadn't done that i neve would have been able to understand it.  Also the caps.  If you re-read everything i've posted, you'll realize i'm agreeing with everything you just said (which is obvious, sherlock) and that i just don't like using the Peyton reference.  Obviously he threw interceptions and obviously he turned out well.  I've heard the same comparison around here for weeks now.  I don't like it.  I think it's silly that he's the one outlier that everyone brings up.  I could do the same, but i'd rather watch Blake be Blake.  But throw some more insults my way why don't you?

 

And BTW, while we're talking about reading comprehension, which you so eloquently bash the board for, who's calling Blake a bust? Or reached his ceiling?  Lol...

 

And while we're at it, water is actually not wet.  Carry on.
