No its not too hard to blame a RB for dropping a deep pass when he's that wide open.

So now it is Bortles fault for making a play, lol

IMO, That play was meant to be over well before toddman got that far down field. It also was designed to go to someone else.

LOL, I think I've heard them all now....
Not sure how one could seriously blame BORTLES on that play....but I guess when you are conditioned like we are for the dink and dunk and to be proud of it, man!!....you get insane criticisms like his in that instance.

Maybe it was, but most other QB completely miss the wide open player in that instance. Bortles progressions and eyes downfield made that attempt possible - and TODMAN SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT! It should have been a walk into the end zone easy TD.
It was a great play by Bortles. Bad execution by Todman.

um....yeah that's exactly what I said, can't you read?
BB made something out of nothing on that play, I just doubt the play design was to throw a 50 yard bomb to a RB, yes he should've caught it but there's a reason why you don't see OCs calling long passing plays to RBs very often, that was the only point I was trying to make
Quote:No its not too hard to blame a RB for dropping a deep pass when he's that wide open.
If it were that easy for RBs to haul in long passes like that, you'd probably see it called much more often.
My original point is that Fisch was trying to get the ball down the field. who knows maybe the 6 times he was sacked he was trying to get the ball down the field.
