Great debut performance by Blake tonight. Much better than anyone could have expected. Accuracy was so impressive, and arm strength really good.

 

So question everyone is asking... Can you really start Henne week 1? The difference in quality between him and Henne is so massive

Lets keep it in perspective and see how he does against 1st stringers. It's a very encouraging start though and I'm getting more excited about this team by the day.

He did very good this game, head and shoulders above Henne. That being said there is still 3 more games to get a look at him. If the next 3 games go similar to this then I don't see how they wouldn't start him.

Is it true Blake asked the broadcast crew to call him "Snake"?

Exactly.  The guy was playing against two's.  Good performance.  He stands tall in the pocket and is aware.  2 traits gabbert never mastered

7-11 for 111 yards. Would've been even better if Mike Brown doesn't go butterfingers on a couple balls.

Bortles Kombat sounds dumb.  Bortle Kombat doesn't sound dumb.

If Bortles is ready, I think he'll start. But only if he's ready. 

 

Henne is still Chad Henne.  Which most of us expected.  He'll go out there.  Some plays he'll look okay.  Some plays he'll look bad.  And some plays he'll make us remember Blaine Gabbert.

 

But if Bortles isn't ready, then there's no reason to throw him in there.  He looks better than Henne.  But let's be honest.  That's about as hard to do as sacking Blaine Gabbert.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

He had some tough catches to make, and came through with a couple after the drops.  I think he did OK.

His tongue is out on every throw. Blake the Snake must happen.
