This. Especially considering the fact that gabbert actually had a really good arm

Gabbert can throw a spiral.
Gabbert threw the best practice ball ever

There's just no way he throws like that out of the blue. He was throwing balls in the dirt.


We can't run any deep stuff because he can't make the throw. It's like he tore his rotator cuff or something and is trying to play through it.


Yeah he threw for 300 yards but it was all against prevent defense. I know some will say, it's not Bortles but it is. He threw Hurns a "hospital ball"


I watched Bortles crow-hop a 7 yards pass to Lewis.


When asked at halftime if we could see a change at QB, Bradley should have said yes. A decent QB would have broke the NFL passing record tonight against the Titans.

I hadn't thought about a possible injury. Still, the decision making.
might make some sense...take that short hopper to Robinson...my Grandmother could have made that throw...and she's dead

He is learning from a guy who stunk in college.  Chad is the problem with Blake and was the problem with Blaine. 

The ball has 0 pop. He's always thrown ducks but they had much more zip. And his accuracy is insanely bad right now. He needs time away to focus on basic fundamentals but he can't mid season obviously.
Maybe he's drunk
Maybe hes not drunk

Chad is a backup QB it has nothing to do with it.

Probably hit a few country bars downtown nashville before the game

Just trying to be optimistic
He wasn't able to hit the bars at Jax Beach tonight. He needs his fix or he gets all flustered.

he's not as think as you drunk he is

The Nashville bars are better. He'll get caught up in no time.
Something is clearly amiss

 

As previously expressed, dissect D, special teams and play calling all you want, but without a QB anywhere close to viable, you start in a losing position

 

Surely the D has been steadily regressing.  Miller being gone came at the absolute worst time facing one of the leagues elite rushing attacks.  By the way, I like how titans have built; stud backs, efficient air game, serviceable D.  They appear on the cusp and shall battle Houston and Indy all year for the South title.  Considering Osweiller's subpar play, JJ gone, Indy with air for talent, the thorny titans may just be the most equipped team in the division.

 

Back to topic, it's like he wasn't even trying at the start, hurry up, get my 3 and out, go rest on the sideline, and do the phone call.  Oh, those calls, NFLN loved those shots.  But yeah, something is wrong.  Won't even touch intangibles like energy level and body language...

so who did the rookie learn from?  The ghost?

   My gut feeling is Blake Bortles is playing with a significant injury.   What could easily make the situation worse is his now long release is making him more vulnerable to further injury.   That long release is already leading to him and his receivers taking more hits than they should.   Not to mention incomplete passes that were broken up,  that would have been completions if he had a more compact motion.
