The whole "wait and see" mentality is all well and good when there are positives to look at.  There is nothing positive here.

 

The last ACE in this coaching and GM staff's pocket is Bortles.  And to be honest, it's not gonna make a lick of difference.  The OC runs sweeps and off-tackle runs to Gerhart, a slow power RB.  The HC has no clue that he should be telling the OC to get his head out from his back-side.

 

It does indeed seem like a total cluster of monkey fornication at this point.  The OC is lost.  The HC isn't directing the OC to stop being so dumb.  On top of that, the O-Line is as bad if not worst than last year.  

 

It's not looking good, folks.  

 

Maybe today was just an abberation.  But man, this is looking just like last year.  Which looked just like the year before that.

 

I can't like this enough. 

 

The amount of absurd, stupid plays I've seen with Gerhart on the outside are pathetic. I honestly believe they're trying to make something out of nothing with him, but he's not now nor will he ever be the answer to this team at RB. 

 

He got his spell plays in MN where he looked good, and probably for much different reason. 

 

Although I will say, as abysmal as this offense has looked outside of the 1st quarter against the Eagles, it could be purely the defense knowing we can't pass or run so they know they can stop everything. 

 

Bortles needs to start ASAP. I feel at this point that the coaching staff is holding onto him as their free pass into another season of coaching. If they use him now and he fails, they're all gone and we keep Bortles and hire a new coaching staff. 

 

This team hasn't been good regardless of coaching staff in quite some time though, so I don't know. It seems as if this franchise is just beyond repair, and it's looked that way for quite awhile.
