The a sumption they would be fine at quarterback Morgan Cox Jersey is coming back to bite them thanks to Bortles' bad play, and now it looks like Henne could begin the regular season as the starter.This belief is largely based on the Jaguars' decision to start Henne in the Week 3 preseason game. It is custom in the NFL for Josh Reynolds Jersey the Week 3 starter to begin the regular season as the starter, especially with limited action for primary players in Week 4 games.Bortles was an outright disaster in Week 2, to make athletic, instinctual decisions.Now, there is a caveat here, the two quarterbacks will each get reps with the first-team offense and will be "splitting repetitions evenly."In other words, the Jaguars would do just about anything you ask them to in order for Bortles to play well against the in Jacksonville during Week 3 and come away giving the team enough confidence to name him the starter in Week 1 of the regular season. Good luck with that. As CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora noted on Wednesday night, the Bortles/Henne situation was bad enough this offseason that it hampered Jacksonville's ability to conduct a thorough coaching search.

The natural inclination is to say this will Jackrabbit Jenkins Jersey get me sier before it gets better, but Henne is just a flat-out upgrade over Bortles at this point. If you bet against the Jaguars in Week 1 already, you should be getting nervous.
