No turnovers not a lot of bad throws... what you think? and some key rushes.... thoughts?
maybe the start of something big
He finally showed flashes again.
I wouldn't say breakout but he didn't commit turnovers which is good. A game manager is fine when your D is making plays. The Cincy game the D made play after play and Bortles just gave them the ball right back and that was a huge problem.
What was his final line? I know he had some nice runs and he had the Lee TD.

No. It was a nice team effort, but Bortles was a game manager. When he's throwing the game winning TD, then he'll be breaking out.
The touchdown throw and the game winning drive were pretty special. Great win but Blake still has a lot of room to grow.

This.... The winning drive was Blake making it happen.
Amazing how confidence isn't actually a tangible thing, but you can clearly see it, and it changes EVERYTHING.
Bortles named player of the game
He left some plays out there, but our line needs to give him more time to actually throw the deep and intermediate routes. He looked like he was playing carefree today, something that has been missing the past couple games.

Really? He ran the ball well and made a couple of good throws under pressure, the TD throw was nice but Marks, Colvin, Clemons and McCray all played some great football today.

and 84.7 rtg
Bortles limited his stupid errors after the first 20 minutes to a point that they didn't kill us.
Marks, on the other hand, had an all-pro performance that made me want to buy his jersey.

I do wish he had more yards passing but hey we wont and he didnt have a turn over. This is a huge plus.

So game manager for a top 3 pick nice drafting

You are an idiot. That is all.

This season, sure. I'd much rather he played smart this year and takes only takes shots he feels confident with as he continues to learn the NFL. Much better than throwing 3 picks a game and destroying his confidence.
If he's a game manager in season 3 I'd be dissapointed, then again I'd much rather have Alex Smith as our QB than Gabbert, McCown, Bouman, Garrard and Leftwich.
