    Bortles Will Not Start This Season for Jaguars

    At least that is the plan. They are going with Henne for now while allowing Bortles a year to develop.

    Of course that could change if Henne absolutely sucks ass.

    Dont understand why people think this is news. Same with Manziel. Of course theyre not gonna say that the rookie is their starter right off the bat. They have to make them work hard.

    Manziel has a better chance of starting from Day 1 than Bortles does, although Bortles will probably be better in the long run.

    Jags have Shorts, A Sanders, and 2 rookies Lee and Robinson at WR that isn't what I would call a solid receiving group.

    Smart move, but something tells me he'll be the starter before the season is up.

    Good plan. Why have your future QB get sacked 100 times without any WR to throw to? Their rookie WR's need to have balls thrown from a veteran. Look at Mark Sanchez. They threw him into the wolves as a rookie and he bombed.

    its also not absolutely terrible.... shorts has some experience.....ace sanders is sort of a poorer mans version of tavon austin.....i think lee could prob come in and be a solid contributor right off the bat.....hes pretty experienced....prob would have gone higher if not for limited height and deep crop of receivers in the draft....robinson is a big guy...physical specimen.....we just wont know about the rookies though till we see them.....

    i remember years ago when the skins took devin thomas and malcolm kelly....those guys were supposed to help them out and both washed out rather quickly....so well see....but theres some potential here for the jags receiving corps

    as far as bortles....i think the jags will take a look and evaluate the play of their offensive line for a couple of months or so....and now theres no MJD....so theyll be rolling with todman and gerhart....i think theyll evaluate how that whole situation looks before they start to give bortles a live look

    he does....and normally id be sort of against sitting a top 3 qb pick....but i think it makes sense....they have luke joeckel....added zane beadles.....may also be starting a rookie at guard....plus no more MJD....i think it makes sense for them to get comfortable with things....build some cohesiveness on the offensive line and with the offense as a whole before they throw bortles to the wolves....i think if that happens and they start to feel comfortable with protection and whatnot...youll see them move towards bortles

    that's not going to happen, trust me. ive watched henne every sunday as a dolphins fan and some of him as a jaguar. i can evaluate qbs decent enough to know that Bortles will beat Henne out in practice and preseason.

    You can? Just what is your experience in evaluating QB's? How long have you been watching the NFL? Your post is a joke. Henne will be the starting QB and unless he is injured, he will remain the starting QB for at least the first 6 weeks, depending on how the team is performing. If the Jags are losing games 14-10, then Bortles will replace Henne. If they are losing games 34-10, there is no use in throwing Bortles into the fire so quickly. Maybe by week 13 or so to give him a little experience.

    On the other hand, Andrew Luck did just fine

    Look at Colts' roster Luck's first year and compare it to what Jaguars have now. Don't judge by the two wins the previous year, a lot of that had to do with poor QBs.

    All bortles needs is some solid preseason games and he'll be starting.

    I think that they will try to get 6-10 games out of Henne and then try to work Bortles in (unless there is an injury or a 4 game losing streak then we will see him sooner).

    Bortles has to prove himself in the pre season.

    Henne may be awful but Bortles will at best be a poor version of Tannehill, who is a bad qb.

    Henne is really bad but I still think that staring him over Bortles is a better idea. If Henne is be just dirty garbage then put Bortles in their whats the harm? neither of them are good or are ever going to be great QB's

    So you are saying Bortles is the next Blaine Gabbert? Bortles will be good, he is a legitmate first round quarterback. But I like the idea of having him sit the first year, not only for his own development but also so hopefully he will have something more to work with next season.

    Yeah, Henne in my opinion is better than Tannehill.
