Bortles needs to start against a middle of the road defense in the Lions and see what happens.

He's gonna get a quarter with the starters so we will get an inkling of potential with the ones.

he has to start now you want the players to trust your words about the best players playing

Henne is 3-6 for passes over 10 yards ... I can't believe he has only attempted 6 passes over 10 yards. Bortles has completed 11 over 20 yards

Sure he might make a few mistakes, but the upside is a lot better.

I don't think anyone on any team thinks that applies to rookie qb's. If you think it's best for his development to sit the whole year, he sits the whole year. It's not as if this is a playoff team either way. It's about the long-term progress of the franchise. If you think you have a franchIse quarterback, you're an idiot if you rush him on the field to the detriment of his development down the road.

Now, if you want to argue whether it's better to play or sit for his development, that's a whole different, complex argument. But the Jaguars seem to believe it's best to sit him, and if so, they need to commit to, and stick with, that plan.

Hopefully we come back strong this week. Should've won against the Eagles.

If you look at the first half, I agree with you. That second half team, though. Woof.
