Quote:Also the Jaguar's depth chart, in spite of how butthurt that makes some people.

 

It doesn't bother me one bit that he's our starting quarterback. I know better. Henne wouldn't produce much more and Allen is still a rookie who didn't really show much to be desired in the pre-season earlier this year. It still doesn't mean this fan base has to smile and accept the fact that our third overall pick from the 2014 NFL Draft class has clearly not lived up to his status while quarterbacks taken after him in that class (Derek Carr) and guys taken a year after (Marcus Mariota & Jameis Winston) make him look like a rookie in virtually every key aspect of being an elite, franchise signal caller. With less career starts and similar situations as far as different offensive coordinators coming in and out of the building.

 

I wouldn't mind some of the fanatical behavior and wonder boy obsession for Bortles around here if he actually played like he deserved it. I think what's happened is that Jacksonville has grown so accustomed to mediocre and average quarterback play from guys like Leftwich, Garrard & Gabbert that they've now developed this sense in their heads that a guy that may look the part at times and can put up gaudy numbers when the game is out of reach is somehow an NFL caliber franchise signal caller. Which he's not.
