Quote:Yup. You're spot on with this. He wasn't ready to go. The management said he wasn't ready to go, and needed to sit.

The fans saw Bortles look good in pre-season vs 2nd and 3rd stringers on the "Mighty" defenses of the Bears and Bucs?,, not having to face blitz schemes or anything exotic.

They screamed for him to be in the lineup,, and are now blaming everything else on BB's struggles.


Bortles was not ready,, and he still isn't IMO. Yes, there is plenty of ineptitude elsewhere on this team. But, right now, Bortles does not look good at all. He's flat out sucked most of the time in my eyes.

He played 1 good half against the Chargers, then promptly got shut out in the 2nd half.

The first clots game,, he came in vs a team that was already up 30 points. He had a couple good drives and then sucked, throwing an easy pick 6.

He looked dreadful vs Pitt, Cle, Miami, Dallas, Colts, and Cincy (lots of horrible throws that Cincy graciously didn't INT).

Okay, he looked fair against the tacks.


The whole offense sucks, but that includes Bortles too. He sucks right along with them. He is a rookie and should get alot better. RIGHT NOW,, he sucks and isn't ready.


Side note - I do find it fairly funny that when Henne sucked early this year (with the same terrible offense of rookies that didn't even have 9-10 games experience), it was all Henne's fault to most people.

Now Bortles sucks, and it's mostly everything else. Yeah right.
