Quote:Well I definitely agree that Bortles looked like he went gunshy. I posted his stats on another thread: 6.96 YPA the first 8 games (before the bye) and then he comes back ultraconversative (I don't remember, but it was really low either just below or above 5 YPA) the last 6 games.

 

But my point is, when Henne stepped in last year, it was night and day offensively. Henne actually took shots downfield last season. So I don't know that I necessarily blame Jedd.

 

As for Blaine, I was very shocked to watch just how terrible he was last season. But I caught a few of his preseason games as a 49er and he looks like the same guy we saw last season. I think Blaine is just broken at this point.

 

If it were just Gabbert then it would just be dismissed.

 

Unfortunately it's not just Gabbert.

 

Gabbert went from a guy that could manage a game and not throw too many INTs to a guy that just imploded under Fisch.

 

Henne went from a guy that would just chuck the ball around to completely enfeebled after Hurns' big first quarter of the season.

 

Bortles obviously regressed under Fisch as it seems Fisch was emphasizing all of the wrong things.

 

I wanted Peyton Manning's rookie season out of Bortles, with a damn the INTs, be aggressive mindset, not Gabbert's rookie season.
