Quote:I don't see where an additional four games for Bortles is going to gain him all that much in terms of experience. The potential risk to further injury to his fatigued throwing arm is of more concern to me.

 

I think there's good arguments both ways.  But I remember comments that Brett Favre made to (I think) Tony Romo early into his career.  Whoever it was, they were injured (shoulder or something similar) and Brett's advice was they should absolutely go out and play anyway.   I'm assuming Brett Favre played with worse and I think Bortles has the same mentality.

 

So clearly, Romo may not have been the best example.  But Farve seemed OK until whatever team (I think New Orleans maybe) completely destroyed him.
