Quote:Agreed with the first part.  The talent being brought in is pretty good with a couple of misses, but everyone makes those.  The statement about development is hard to justify...don't you have to give him more than a dozen games?  The common rule of thumb is that a QB reaches his potential after his 50th start.  We're a long way from that yet.

 

I said it because even though yes, its only 12 games, it appears to be going in reverse/ regressing. Its one thing to show slow "progress" and then cite "its only 12 games". But regression is a whole 'nother issue. When the player starts out like Bortles did, and playing loose and confident, and very well, and 12 games later you look at him and the player is now a shell of what that initial player looked like, I think you have a major issue with the people developing this kid.
