Quote:That Texans fan is whistling past the graveyard.


Consider he's putting up these numbers with a defense the Texans fan accurately describes as "horrid."


That means as a general rule, they aren't getting teams off the field. They aren't turning the ball over to the offense in good field position.


Once they build the defense to that point, Bortles' numbers should go up.


That Texans fan is scared.

As good as Bortles is now, and even better in the future (most likely), his numbers will probably go down when this team finds a strong O-line and running game.


That doesn't mean that Bortles will "regress" or anything like that. It'll just mean that the offense will get more of their yardage output on the ground, and TDs will go to the running game and away from Bortles.


But that's a good thing IMO. If his numbers drop because of rushing TDs and rushing yards from other guys, this offense will be almost DEADLY.


Seriously, imagine if Fred Taylor, MJD, and their O-line had Bortles and the Allens with it. Geez, Unstoppable.


I don't expect any running attack at a Fred Taylor "elite" level. But if theses current guys start producing,, look out! Bortles numbers might suffer a little, except in the Win column.
