Quote:While Jaguars nation has been giddy over Bortles being named starting QB, USA Today reporter Nate Davis questions the wisdom of the decision, not by assailing Bortles, but the lack of surrounding talent.


Davis offers a pretty good analysis of the situation by comparing Bortles' situation with other rookie starters.


Here is the link.

I will say I disagree with one element of his analysis: the rookies at receiver have proven capable of producing at this level at least so far.


 
He insinuated that Gabbert wouldn't have failed in Jacksonville regardless.

 

Good article, good stats, but I'll go ahead and discard the opinion.


THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
