Quote:Bortles has been trash this year, but that first half against the Texans was the best I've seen him play this year. That was the Bortles I saw playing at UCF for two years. Looks like he figured something out in the game but that second half was a collaspe so I don't know what to think. At least I know he's capable of being good he just need more weapons and heavy protection. Bortles knows how to win and work a pocket the team just sucks around him.


Good job Caldwell. He targeted Bortles when he got the job or at least a few months after and still didn't get the adequate pieces to aid a rookie qb. He tried but the pieces he did bring in here has failed him. Whether it is giving him rookies to throw to when he's a rookie himself or the free agent lineman and street players who or below average protecting. A seemingly bust of a top pick tackle and no tight end worth a damn to give him a reliable big target to throw to. One thing I know is Bortles isn't soft and will break mentally like that punk Gabbert did so he'll be able to handle the failure until they get the right players.
