Quote:I find it entertaining that most of you guys defend a guy you don't know personally.. You don't in fact know if he is or isn't an alcholic..Their are reports since his college days about this.. Probably why Miss Dukes left him!
In fact one football player on the team said "he was a basket case".. There are pictures of him drinking, tweets about him drinking, and numerous other reports of people seeing him drinking at bars and etc..
Sure it's nothing wrong with having a beer, but if it's affecting your performance on the football field, then maybe waiting till the off-season would be the best idea..
And for the people trying to downplay it, as if it's just beers that he drinks, see Bortles "Fireball" tweet to Ramsey after he was drafted last year!
I think it's funny that you feel the need to attack and slander someone that you don't know.
Giving someone the benefit of the doubt is the quality of an understanding person. Innocent until proven guilty.
What you're doing is childish and unfounded. You're a loser.

I mean there's no reason to be that way or slander him. He's done nothing but commit to doing better. Hiring coaches. Working around the clock. And helping our community at the same time. We can all say this or that about his game but you can't deny he is trying.
Quote:No torture, I just don't feel like wasting my time proven a point when quite frankly Bortles not worth it.. Dude a drunk! I know it [BAD WORD REMOVED] some of you guys off that I say things like this about Bortles! I'm sorry... Then again I'm not..
You've still yet to show us this "proof" that he has a drinking problem. Tweeting "fireball?" to a new team mate makes you an alcoholic?
I emailed a couple guys from my old branch that I'll see this weekend about getting some drinks when we get into town. Guess I have a drinking problem too?
I guess it is only OK to attack a guy you don't personally know.
Guilt until proven innocent.
I have met a man whom appears to be close to 3dqb.
And he says he hasn't seen any more determination or conviction from an individual than he sees in Blake to succeed.
He made no mention of an alcohol problem

It's pointless! You guys gonna find some defense for everything... Bortles is the real loser! He can throw 100 ints in a season you guys will still love him.. It's just sad that after this season most will finally see the light.. And I never said it's wrong for people like me and you to have a drinking problem..
This thread has jumped the shark.

It's not people "defending" Bortles. It's you not being able to be honest.
It's why you have to tilt at windmills like Don Quixote. Argue against pretend arguments no one ever made. Exaggerate to the point you can't engage in honest talk.

Attack ?? Is it attacking when you just stating what multiple reports state? His performance on the field gives me reason to believe the reports... He was called a "basket case" by a player! Come on people, open your eyes..

Hmmmmm. Ok.. so lets be honest!
Do Bortles drink? Yes
Is he an Alcoholic? Nobody on this board knows! So you can't say "no"which some are doing, or you can't say "yes" like I am doing..
Was Bortles good "Last Year"? No!
Has Bortles ever had a winning season? No!
Does Bortles have good accuracy? No!
Shall I Continue?

Links or it didn't happen. Hearsay is what they call it. Rumors, gossip. Put up one recent picture, and by that I mean in the last three years of Bortles drunk at a bar. Prove one instance of an alcohol related incident. Show one shred of evidence that a player called him a basket case.

Continue what? What "conversation" do you think you are having, and with whom?

There's more risk to your own reputation for pointing the finger and being wrong than there is a benefit to you pointing the finger and being right. I get the sense he likes to party, but everything I've seen has been relatively tame and nothing that I saw was dated during the season.
I'm more concerned with what I've seen that I can actually quantify and a couple of his comments in interviews and press conferences. I just think you'd be doing yourself a favor if you backed off the drinking thing unless more info comes out.

Lol ok Pirk! Be honest, you can kind of look at somebody and tell if they are a drunkard.. Do you honestly think Blake is Drunkard?

If I do will you change your stance?

If by saying I think he can succeed and that I'd like to see him succeed makes him "my favorite QB," then sure. I'm sure you're riding plenty of other ones anyway.
Bortles the "Drunkard" Thread coming soon..
I will expose him to the blind, just like I did Marrone..
