8-8 Forever? Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 We should have traded up for Bortles; "But Bortles did better than all right on his second possession, flashing some of the ability that made him the third overall pick in the draft. On first down from his own 2-yard line, Bortles lofted a pass down the left sideline to Mike Brown, dropping it over the defensive back for a 25-yard gain." He also says what a good QB should say; "I think it was all right," Bortles said of his performance. "I could have done a lot of things better. That’s part of it -- learn from my mistakes and try to improve."http://espn.go.com/b...how-consistency This is what EJ says about his performance; “I thought I did a pretty good job when I was in,” Manuel said. “I thought the first unit, we did what we needed to do." http://www.buffalone...two-bills-drive coulda shoulda woulda. move on. EJ is the guy until new ownership decides what they are going to do after this season. It all could change, even if we had picked Bortles. If the coaching staff is replaced (50/50 shot at this point) all bets are off with players drafted by this management team. See the big picture. Could be an entirely new set of characters 12 months from now.
Doc Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 so basically instead of trading up for Sammy, we should've traded for Bortles? Please step back from the ledge bong. Fixed it for you.
It's in My Blood Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Wait a minute.. Is the OP the same guy who promoted Skelton for Mario and had a huge man crush on Tannehill?

qwksilver Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Yes Ouch! I thought it was one of those sarcastic posts that sometimes I don't immediately get. Now If I could just figure out how to use this "block" feature. Oh and "IN"....

Like Gabbert the Jags will eagerly deal him for a bag of doorknobs soon enough. I get that Manuel may not be the real deal, looked bad last night, but please set your sights a little higher than Bortles for a savior / regret. Edited August 4, 2014 by DC Grid
NoSaint Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Did you say to yourself "how can I make the worst thread ever?", because it worked. people say that all the time to him, and i stand by the fact that skelton for mario will not be surpassed. probably ever. this is just a normal bad thread, not the all time bad one.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 We do need a backup QB. If Jacksonville hadn't picked him way too early I would have been happy with him in the 4th.
NewEra Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 BB could be like the kid that drop the bag of poop at the door and run away, hide and look at the reaction. As BB hides behind the tree reading the replies chuckling. Too bad that's not the case. He drops the poop thinking that you'll open the door and think, "a bag of poop!!! Just what I needed." Then eat the poop and enjoy it as much as he enjoys eating it. Which is a lot.
Big Blitz Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Please. Bortles was just rehearsing the line he will be repeating all year long. Same with EJ. B)

Ha ha, think about that thread for a 2nd. Maybe we can trade the former 1st overall pick that average double digits sacks every season for a QB that was cut 3 times last year? He was most recently replaced by: McLeod John Baltazar Bethel-Thompson. In terms of the worst ideas in the history of message boards, Mario for Skelton has no equal. When people talk about the HOF they talk about HOFers and then the guys that are in that special room, the Babe Ruth's of the world. That thread is Babe Ruth. Unlike some on here I am a big fan of BB. He always provides a unique perspective and certainly looks at things through his own lens. Sometimes after reading his posts I ask myself, "am I crazy?" No one else on here elicits that type of response so regularly. Edited August 4, 2014 by Kirby Jackson
KD in CA Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 But wait.....aren't we already set at QB with Tebow and Skelton?
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I just believe that BB is totally messing with everyone. It's like his reverse jinx or something. That or he is completely crazy. Edited August 4, 2014 by C.Biscuit97
Kelly the Dog Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I think BB is typing from prison and has this weird smirk and gaze right now. Edited August 4, 2014 by Kelly the Dog

Big C Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 So should we trade Sammy for Bortles? This is the new Mario for Skelton, I assume.
