Stop turning the ball over and stop making stupid penalties. The turnovers in the redzone, penalties on field goal attempts, missed assisgnments on FG attempts and bonehead plays are killing this team.
We had unbelievable field position on sunday and did nothing with it.

Growth milestones for rookie QBs
1. Adapt to the play book
2. Develop chemistry with the recevers
3. Learn to read the defense
4. Game speed adjustment
5. Develop red zone efficiency
Some of the things happen concurrently. For instance, I think BB5 has command of the playbook as Fisch is presenting it, I think it's scaled back for the others but will expand as they get it. The chemistry and reading defenses are both happening now. The game will slow down as those two things get better. The most difficult one is the red zone work, as we're seeing right now. This team is already pretty good between the 20s, a little more time is needed to become good in the red zone.
I definitely think that this team has something that last year's didn't: hope.
I read somewhere that Fisch wants Blake to throw 8 picks or less over his final 8 games.....

Seems reasonable. I don't think we see too many more multiple INT games.

hope to improve, not regress. well put.
Talking about the sacks, BB fights out of them better than Chad ever tried to do... Chad always seemed to just give up. Given BB has tossed some Picks because of it so thats a negative. But things still should look better as time goes on. Rookie QBs have issues.
Quote:This team could actually have four wins right now if they had a decent QB with some experience. Tenn, Pitt, Miami could have all been wins. This is what I would expect to happen with a rookie QB learning trial by fire. Soon enough Bortles will be leading this team to win those type of games
QB play was fine in Tennessee. We still had no rushing game at that point.

Good post!
I think he has shown ups and downs at 2, 3, and 4 as defenses keyed in on what he does well. Hopefully, we start to see each of those rise a little more steadily in the second half of the season.

Jedd Fisch said he wants Blake Bortles to cut his interceptions in half. That means because he has thrown 12 so far, his goal should be no more than 6.

I found a college highlights video that shows Blake fighting out of a sack while he was going down and completing a pass. Most NFL quarterbacks would just take the sack there.
Quote:I do remember Henne had a lot of garbage time stats because he was my random pick up back up QB in two fantasy leagues because of byes/injuries and he helped me get SOME points because of garbage play.
I used to do that with Garrard all the time.
