Eh, whatever. I liked Bortles coming out of college. He definitely hasn't done much, but only being 28 - who knows what could happen. This season is sort of a bust (I know it's only 2 games Peerless), so I'm ready to just experiment at the moment.

I just hope he never has to start behind this line. It'll get ugly. Quick.sigpic

Sloter was signed from the Cardinals PS by the Lions after Jeff Driskel was injured. After choosing to sign with the Vikings in 2017 who offered a better contract who had their own share of injuries that got Sloter promoted to active for like a week or two and he was release from them in 2019
His last tryout was with the Bears and he's still not signed anywhere to my knowledge.
How does that say better? I think it could be equally below average QBs with little options.

Everyone working in the NFL knows exactly what Bortles is capable of. And they're comfortable with that. I, as a fan, am not.Eternal Broncos Optimist

Originally posted by Megalodon30 View PostMy guess is they signed him to start. Hope I'm wrong, but this staff does love their vet QBs. Especially yhe below average ones. Bortles fits right in with what they thought of Flacco."Stultum est timere quod vitare non potes." ~ Publilius Syrus
