Quote:So what happens when a fire does start at your work? Just let the building burn down since all you had was prevention strategies and no active?

 

What fire?  That the Jags were a bad football team and Chad Henne wasn't Peyton Manning?  That's not a fire, that's a glaring truth that was no different in Week 3 than it was in July when you said you weren't going to throw Bortles out there until he was ready.    So what changed that required the freakout and the deviation from the offseason gameplan?   

 

Everyone loves to hate Henne so much, but it was never about Henne.  It was that Bortles wasn't ready to play and the Jags weren't ready to compete anyway so it was the perfect opportunity to build Bortles up from the ground up the right way so that when the time comes he just had one thing to worry about ... putting points on scoreboards.  Now how to hold his elbow and how to set up his lead foot coming out of a 5 step drop.     The eye on the prize is 2017, not Week 3 on a crappy 2014 football team.     That's the alpha and omega of the story in it's entirety, not how much Chad Henne gives you a doom boner.    People loved to hate Henne so much they couldn't see the forest from the trees.   Well, here you got it ... an offense just as bad under a rookie Bortles as it was under Henne, a 3-13 season,  and now you've stunted Bortles mechanics to the point where he's right back to where he was last May.  A complete waste of a season in every regard with no discernible progress made towards contending status for the franchise.   Hope it was worth it.  .
