Quote:Well, if the OL does their job, the expectation is that it helps Bortles.  If they don't, he'll either continue to struggle, or he'll wind up on the IR.  Again, yes, there are plenty of moving parts around the QB who have to do their jobs in order for the offense to operate.  But, if you don't have your QB playing at a high level, the rest doesn't matter. Good QBs elevate the play of those around them. 

In order for a good quarterback to 'elevate the play of those around him' there needs to also be a host of other issues factored in. I'm hoping that you're right and Bortles can cause those around him to play better, cause it sure didn't look that way last season. I'm kind'a inclined to think that the saying "a good quarterback elevates the play of those around him' is a questionable truism. We'll see.
