A Not So Rosy Look at Bortles' Ascent to Starter

#50

Quote:We will find out soon how accurate the Ben Roethlisberger comparisons are when they play against each other. I am looking forward to that game.

 

Of course you have to keep in mind the Steelers had one of the NFL's best defenses 10 years ago. They also did not have two rookies and a second year player in front of him. Their running back was Jerome Bettis. All of their receivers were veterans. Roethlisberger actually played bad during Super Bowl 40. So it is not fair to to say we'll make the playoffs bnecause of Blake Bortles regardless of who else is on the team. We will make the playoffs because of many young players maturing and improving as well as Bortles himself.
 

Yes, the quality of team around Bortles is why I'm not supposing he'll follow Roethlisberger in winning a Superbowl in his second year, but I don't think winning the AFCS next year is out of the question at all.
