Quote:This narrative of a rookie QB regressing is hilarious.

 

Inconsistency is the typical storyline on rookies. Especially quarterbacks.  Identifying trends in a 22 year old QB's performance over a few games in his rookie career is a pointless endeavor.  You'll not reach any concrete conclusions.  

 

Comparing him to Henne is even more hilarious, IMO.  Dear Lord, folks must be desperate around here lately.  I hate watching this offense struggle to execute too, and perhaps Fisch is a bigger part of the problem than I maintain, perhaps not…. 

 

…but comparing Bortles to Henne???  Really?  LOL.  You've just got to be blind. 

 

 

I'm not saying BB5 is Henne, but just to play devil's advocate I looked up Henne's stats and compared them to BB5's...

 

They are very similar...  

 

Yes, BB5 is a rookie, yes the O-Line stinks, yes his WRs are rookies.  

 

But it cannot be denied a couple things:

 

1.  BB5's production has decreased now compared to his first 4 games.

 

2.  Henne's 2013 season and BB5's 2014 are similar in terms of YPA, Completion%, and QB rating...

 

Yes, he's a rookie.  Yeah, the O-line stinks, yeah the WRs aren't world beaters and they are rookies...  

 

But you know something that's been constant?  The coaching staff and the offensive philosophy.  

 

But yes, he's a rookie.  The O-Line stinks.  The WRs are rookies...
