He will be drafted 1st overall. He also stated he is a die hard Jaguar fan since he was a child.

we got lucky

I agree. It might sound dumb but I love having someone who was a fan before on our team.

:thanks: Extra Life 2016 is 11/05/16 :thanks:

I think you're all missing the point.


Ignore my words, just enjoy the picture.

Because it's been too long since this was shown.

Talk about necro-bumping...

 

Easy Bunnie, I thought it might be fun to go back and look at some pre draft Bortles thread and see what some posters were thinking.

 

I had a little time to kill so I went back and looked at some old posts about Bortles before the draft, especially because he just broke the franchise record for TD throws in just his 2nd year.

 

Besides, when the time comes that you have been unseen and not heard from for a couple of years, you might enjoy a good necro-bump.

 

Don't knock it until you have tried it.

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

How ironic and hilarious.

 

lol, yep. There are a few posts that fit that description throughout the thread.

Actually, this could be said about a lot of posts, past and present.

He's quite good. Solid day two prospect with room to rise to the late 1st if everything breaks right.

haha It's great going back and reading post like this!

---

Still doesn't change the fact that he is a reach at #3 and likely will be overdrafted by one of the desperate organizations of the browns and raiders.

haha

---

Well, hello again ladies.

---

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Bortles has a lollipop arm.  I guess he would be an OK QB in a west coast horizontal passing offense.

yeah probably right haha

---

Give Bortles time to learn from the bench and he's going to be good. Start him as a rookie and he's going to be Gabbert.

haha

---

Give Bortles the exact size and frame of Manziel, and he likely wouldn't even be drafted this year.

In other words, nothing Bortles has ever done anything on a football field warrants him being a top QB draft pick, in the line of Newton, Luck, etc.

Sure, he's a good quarterback, but TRUST ME. If Bortles was 5'11, he'd be undraftable. It's all his 'NFL size' and 'NFL weight', and because of that size, his quote-unquote 'potential'. Heard the exact same thing the year we drafted Gabbert. Do not want. Gimme Johnny or Teddy please.

lol

---

Oh Johnny Jaguar, we hardly knew ye.

I really didn't think bortles would be this much of a gunslinger though. I'm not trying to sound like i know it all. I thought he would be a little more conservative and harder to come by points like big ben in his first few seasons. Now he and big ben are both exploding.

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

Oh Johnny Jaguar, we hardly knew ye.

 

lol, he must be real fat right about now eating all that crow with a side of some of his own words.

I agree, it's fun to go back and look at all the mb GMs giving their pre draft opinions on all the QBs in the draft, especially the posts about Bortles.

the posts about Teddy are my favorite

---

To be fair, his post was from September of Bortles' junior year. He was actually probably somewhat ahead of the curve there.

---

"I've never seen anyone like him" means just that. He is not like any other player, for both good and bad reasons.

 

This little gem alone made giving this thread a bump well worth it.

 

Look at the name, could it be................?

---

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

What?

 

Wait, you think Clowney has a high probability of being a bust but not Bortles?

 

Ha. HA! HAHAHAHAHA!

 

Lets all take a deep breath, hold it...

 

HOLD IT...

 

Now LAUGH AT ME

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
