Yeah i did watch him alot and i stand by what i see. Bortles doesnt work well from the pocket and doesnt run an offense that asks him to nor is he asked to make any changes or adjustments and his offense is extremely simple.
Of course other QBs have made those throws but when one QB does it consistently and the other dosnt it creates a gap.
I have actually watched every vid on Draftbreakdown of Bortles and watched some multiple times. I did this all college season.
I do see potential in Bortles but you guys act like im making stuff from thin air. He doesnt have to go through complex progressions. I talked about that in the Scar game when they ran the same screen - slant combo multiple times over and over. He throws the hitch,screen, slant and occasional post with a couple fade routes mixed in but its almost all short one step passes and thats just there to be easily seen.
I went through the first half of the SCAR game and posted my thoughts on each play. Someone else do the same please.

I watched the cut up of every passing play from the Penn State game, and Bortles was changing plays at the line, and doing exactly what you say he didn't do.
You say he ran screens, slant combos, hitches, posts, and fade routes. Isn't that pretty much the bread and butter of most NFL passing offenses? And you say it's almost all short one step passes. You clearly didn't watch the Penn State game if that's the case.
You watched the SCAR game. You don't think that MAYBE just MAYBE they game planned it the way they did knowing they were facing a guy that was considered one of the top pass rushing ends in the league? That couldn't be possible, right?
Nobody, including his coaches, Bortles himself, or anyone on this board is claiming he's plug and play ready to go, but you're spinning this like Bridgewater is the only guy who has ever made passes like the one you referenced from the pocket, and that's just garbage.
Quote:Yes from a completely clean pocket and coming from the Gun. Not from under center and in a circle of bodies where he cant scramble out and has to win from the pocket. Go watch the SCAR game and see what happens everytime Bortles is under center its not pretty.
On the second throw i mentioned he hung in the pocket and stepped up in a crowd while going through his reads and put the ball to where only Copeland could get it. You can actually seen his head turning as he scans the field on most of his plays.
You mean like this:

I seriously don't really care if he took the majority of his snaps under center or from the gun. He has run both. Peyton Manning operated from the pistol and gun formations more than any other QB last year. Does that little fact tell you anything? The QB who ran from those formations the 3rd most IIRC happened to QB the other team in the SB.
Blake's footwork is fine. He plays well under pressure. He doesn't shy away from contact. He will take a hit to deliver the pass. He can make the big throws. Stop complaining.

You can tell who they were gameplanning for in that game because Clowney is double or tripple teamed almost every play. The only time he got away from a double/tripple team is when they moved him to the other side of the line to go against the RT or TE.
UCF's plan was to run quick passes to minimize Clowney.

i dont think ninja knows who Clowney is!

Man we don't need no more wide outs smh we are definitely set.
Wow.. Bridgewater looked good in this video.
I think Copeland is in the running for best hair on the team.
Copeland isn't going to make the team. He was only decent because Teddy is great. It was Teddy, Parker, and a bunch of blah out there.
Hurns is far better.
Lets see Teddy take one hit from Clowney...
So, we're arguing about a WR that likely won't be starting for the Jags, and have turned it into an argument about a guy who definitely won't be starting for the Jags and another QB who likely won't be starting for the Jags until next year.
Yep, the dead zone is upon us.

I was just admiring the guy's hair geesh.
Quote:Davante Parker was Bridgewater's #1 receiver.
It's an annual occurence so I am not surprised, but some of you guys need to pump the brakes on these UDFA's. They have an uphill climb.
The only UDFAs I think the fans should be safe with being excited about is Rashaad Reynolds. Being a 3rd round grade CB going undrafted to a team that needs help at corner, I don't see how he doesn't make the team.
Everyone else, I agree wholeheartedly.
I agree. Copeland could become something special. Best of luck to him.
Quote:Blake's footwork is fine. .
His footwork actually needs help and he even said it did in a post draft interview.
Very fixable though IMO - and I agree with your overall point. A little help in very coach-able areas and this kid could be a very good QB.

Craig Loston as well. I think he'll lock up the backup SS spot.
All that video did was make me scratch my head as to why we passed on Teddy for Bortles.

I dunno why.
Blake has made every throw Teddy has made, without the same talent at wideout. Teddy's WRs bailed him out a ton. Blake had to make do with less talent and still beat him head to head.
