I don't agree with Tony's view but he's just no being quite as "the world is ending" as a lot of us are.

 

Bortles was an above average QB last year. He made major strides mechanically and looked to be well on his way to a top 10-12 QB this year. Unfortunately, his mechanics are out of whack now and that's causing a huge downgrade in accuracy. 

 

To say we need to move on I think is way too early after what he showed he's capable of last year. Go back to Tom House for the offseason, get a new coaching staff that is competent and won't let his mechanics deteriorate like Olsen has, and let's see what happens.

 

My confidence is wavering big time and I'm not sure he's our guy,but I agree with Tony that it's way to early to bring out the pitchforks for him. He has said he's played bad this year, but he isn't a guy that is going to rip into guys and say they should be cut/demoted/released quickly like fans would. He's a player. Freddy T has done the same thing when talking about Bortles. He's said he's been bad, but he also believed in him and would go into any game with Bortles at QB.
