HAHA... someone better tell the kids over at BCC

They said he was mostly up and down and was off target a lot.

Ryan and Alfie hate hate hate Bortles. And they really don't want him to improve because of the crow they will be force fed.
They certainly won't eat it willingly.

Did he dehydrate so quickly from drinking beer this morning?

The kids at BCC finally crawled out of mommy's basement and as usual are wrong.

Meh, just practice

The thing is,  he's never been a good practice QB. Reason for optimism?

It sounds like it was a good and productive first day of training camp.  I like the fact that Coach Marrone chose to leave them out there in the heat/humidity/rain for some time, though it's pretty smart to go ahead and end the practice short due to lightning in the area.

When I first read the thread title I thought shines as in moonshine. But glad to hear that Blakes off-season work is paying off. Hopefully we keep hearing this throughout camp

Noticed picture of training camp
Blake is in the pocket and in the launching position but the rock is pointed backwards is this correct form

According to the T-U, Bortles was 12-14 in 11 on 11 snaps for the day.

There's reason for optimism!

Yeah gabbert on his best day isn't as good as bortles

I was wondering why other sports sites were saying he was up and down.

This is a good reason to be optimistic.

Because Big Cat Country is so anti Blake that anyone who supports him they banned from the site.

Dude...staaaap.

Gabbert's best game isn't anywhere near as good as Brunell's, Leftwich's, Gerrard's, or Bortles' worst game. Gabbert had pocket presence issues - Bortles doesn't. The point? In practice, you KNOW you aren't going to get smashed by a defensive lineman. When the fire is live, you EXPECT to get smashed by a defensive lineman.

Gabbert showed way too much fear on the field. Bortles doesn't have enough fear.

Even John Oesher called Bortles "OK" today, not good or great. He is who he is. He's going to be very inconsistent.

Some of us still recall Mark Brunell in the early days of training camp and often in the first preseason game. He almost always seemed to start out really rusty and inaccurate almost giving us cause for concern, only we knew better because Brunell was always ready to go by week one.  Bortles being 12 of 14 in the first camp is a great sign.

That said, I was watching some clips on his deeper passes, and while encouraging, the wobble remains. That consistant wobble on his deep passes distinguishes him from any other qb.

The number 1 thing on every Fan's wish list should be Bortles to consistently play well. He starts off solid and earns praise......yet those bcc guys know better...
