Quote:What have I seen is Blake to think he may still be a franchise qb? Plenty...
- strong leadership
- strong physique, tall frame and large overall stature for a qb
- thorough understanding of the game and our system
- the ability to accurately sense pressure and to buy time in the pocket
- his ability to scramble and to accurately throw on the run
- extremely sharp downfield vision to find deepest player getting open
- adept at going through reads and finding the best option
- excellent touch on mid-range and deep throws, and exceptional accuracy on deepest throws
- doesn't check down unless it's the only option available (compare to Chad "Captain Checkdown" Henne)
- a comeback mentality with a tendency to be at his best in the fourth quarter when it counts the most
- The ability to quickly understand a defense enabling him to play well in no huddle situations
- humility to accept and apply advice when warranted
- Excellent overall athleticism for a qb his size
- Can take a hit and keep on ticking
- Keeps eyes downfield never looking at pass rush
- Nice, high release point
Things he needs to work on...- An understanding of why his arm fatigues with a plan to rest it
- Maintaining crisper mechanics with a quicker throwing motion
- His overall short game
- Mid-range accuracy
- His fade pass
- Eliminating costly mistakes such as forcing throws
- Looking off dbs before throwing
I have no ides what you are seeing man.
strong leadership
strong physique, tall frame and large overall stature for a qb
thorough understanding of the game and our system
the ability to accurately sense pressure and to buy time in the pocket- He isn't very good at this
his ability to scramble and to accurately throw on the run- He is decent at moving out of the pocket I guess
extremely sharp downfield vision to find deepest player getting open- Nope. Bortles should never be described as having sharp down field vision
adept at going through reads and finding the best option- Absolutely not true, he can't read coverage
excellent touch on mid-range and deep throws, and exceptional accuracy on deepest throws- Nope , he struggles with basic ball placement
doesn't check down unless it's the only option available (compare to Chad "Captain Checkdown" Henne)- He should check down more
a comeback mentality with a tendency to be at his best in the fourth quarter when it counts the most
The ability to quickly understand a defense enabling him to play well in no huddle situations- He is god awful at reading defenses, gets baited easily
humility to accept and apply advice when warranted- what??
Excellent overall athleticism for a qb his size- Fair enough
Can take a hit and keep on ticking- Fair enough
Keeps eyes downfield never looking at pass rush- ?
Nice, high release point- Has the most batted balls in the league since he was drafted
