Long time fan, long time lurker thanks to falling into a chasm on the Jungle. I was registered but not authorised to do anything and the email to the administrator said the address was dead so i welcome this foray into the brand new Duval Pride!

Now onto Blake, well let's face it, it's the last thing you want it to see at practice, it kind of feels worse that it was at the Bank in front of the fans for the first time since his off season improving. Now i assume that in a perfect world and Blake turns into the next Brady then we'd all be happy with that? Now last season was bad. Baaaaaaad. You get it if he was injured or missing players but his mistakes were so basic, fundamental football mechanics, that you worry how is it possible for him to slip so much in one year?

I have about two fingers clinging to the Blake Bus right now, mainly as i don't want us to have to wait another 2 years for a rookie QB to develop and risk losing one of the big guys. I think the biggest thing he and basically all of that O, is confidence. 2 years ago, the O was set and if could just fix the D, but the O slipped back so badly last year. Now i pin that on Bradley and Olsen. Hated Olsen's playcalling and my, silver cloud, how can i spin 5 int's into a positive is that, he's going to be learning a new offense in ways, isn't practice where you know...practice those plays?

Bortles' confidence must have been shot after last season and i get the 'oh here we go agaiin' but he's going to be starting Week 1 barring injury or, i don't know, 10 picks! We need to find those 'money' throws and plays for him and the WR. I'm not saying he's not had some moments where you genuinely wonder what he is doing or thinking but he's our QB, we need to find ways to help him (looking at you O line)
