That fact of the matter is that even he still sees people to work on his game. Every QB is practicing with QB specialists for a reason. They're all going to tune up, tighten up any flaws and to correct things. If you think Bortles is the only QB trying to tighten up his throwing motion you're more lost then I thought.

Why you're even bringing up practice INTs is pathetic in itself. The best QBs of all time throw INTs to nobodies in practice...

It's not hard to comprehend that maybe he threw the most picks on 3rd down because he has been forced to carry this team on his back. He has been forced to create and do everything because the OL has been awful and the running game has been awful. Bortles has been plenty [BLEEP] himself, but he hasn't gotten much help, whether you want to admit it or not.

It must be luck for somebody to throw 35 TD passes, but not be able to hit receivers in stride. Oh wait, it was all garbage time right and nobody was covering anybody. That's it.

I don't deny his issues throwing fade routes in the endzone. You're 100% correct about that.

Lol yea ok. We'll see just how long you guys really think Henne is the most reliable/best option. If he makes it beyond this Thursdays game as the starter. I give it a max of 3-4 weeks into the regular season before you're all regretting your decision, calling for his head and screaming at the front office for why on earth did he ever get any playing time to begin with.

Tightening up your throwing motion is completely different than having to change it from a full wind up. Are you serious? Bortles mechanics are flawed beyond most starting QB's and despite his offseason he still does it and has done it in pre-season and in practice. It's who he is. Do you deny that?

You sound like Caldwell holding onto one year. The NFL is a what have I done for you lately league. Want me to list a string on QB's with one good year? I will if you want.

Hell, we will all be calling for Henne's head at some point cause he isn't the answer either. Like I've said. But to say Bortles is the better option based  on what we've seen recently is ludicrous. He is not there mentally to play the game and his arm is clearly tired before the season has even begun.

It was well known that he was dealing with a shoulder injury last season, but nobody acts like that ever happened. That's fine.

His throwing motion is completely different from last season. You love to use practice and preseason so much, yet it's been shown multiple times how different it is during practice and preseason.

Yea it's a what have I done for you lately league.. You wont find Henne on this list any time lately and you sure as hell wont find his name on that list ever. At least Bortles has shown some upside in his career. 

Yea I do want you to show me a list. I want a list of every QB who has had one good year and they all better have better numbers than Bortles' best year. Since it's so easy, the list should be very long.

I also think it's comical how everybody knows how Bortles' confidence is, as well as knowing how tired his arm is. It's almost like the majority of this message board is actually inside the facility and are working with the team, or are actually on the team and in the locker room.
