If you are not head and shoulders above Henne, then you are trash. There is no middleground.

In all honesty, the fact that anyone is comparing the two at this point is trash.  Bortles is night and day from anything Henne has to offer.  He actually throws it down field, he can actually run with the football and make plays, he can actually be dynamic. 

Henne makes the same mistakes as Bortles while doing half of the good things and people are dumb enough to want him to start because they've forgotten what he looked like when he did start.

I'd be willing to say he is out the league in 2 years like Gabs. Heck Smith ain't no franchise QB but he is good enough to win a ring, and compared to Borts who the heck are we kidding here lol. Who wouldn't take Smith over Bortles and what reason would you have for taking Bortles? lol Thats a joke! We stuck for the year with Borts like it or not, and it might actually land us Darnold so weather the storm boys.

You can't honestly believe that. The Chiefs have had one of the top rated defenses over the past few years and a solid run game, yet he hasn't led them to a ring. In fact, they just traded up 17 spots in round one to draft his replacement, Pat Mahomes. That doesn't show me that they believe he can win a ring and they are a heck of a lot closer as a team than we are. If we were to bring him to Jacksonville, it would be a disaster.

For a guy that has The O Line Matters as his username, do you know what Blake has had to work with as an O Line?  How about that running game?

Teams knew we had nothing, they knew they could mix up coverages and absolutely destroy him the last couple years.

Blake can improve simply by throwing less interceptions which he did the final two games under Marrone, he threw 0.  If he can drop his total number dramatically then the team will have a pretty good year.  That alone will make him a much better quarterback.  Is there really a discussion?
