Quote:The rookie Bortles came in, and in his very first time seeing the field, played better then Henne, the 7yr vet. As a QB who has been a starter in this league and is a 7 yr vet, why isn't Henne better then he is?

 

I know the line was bad and there wasn't much of a running game, but I would expect a rookie or 2nd yr player to struggle in those circumstances. I would like to think a 7 yr vet would be able to be more productive then Henne was.

 

I really don't know much about Tuel, except he went undrafted in 2013 and I really don't expect much from him.

 

Bortles didn't struggle as a rookie?

 

Bortles played better when he first came in because he's a more talented and athletic QB than Henne could ever dream of being.  That doesn't trickle down and mean that EVERY QB is better than Henne.  Tuel went undrafted for a reason.  There's also a reason he's not on the Bills roster any longer.  If he winds up sticking around, it's  not because he beat Henne out.  It's because he was more competent than Morris, and even that's not a given at this point.
