Blake Bortles Has Been Named Week One Starter [merged]

If you want to see Blake complete "prettier" passes, give him some separation on a more consistent basis and a cleaner pocket.

We are chasing away a young, gunslinger quarterback that has improved in the areas he was told to improve on, every single year.

Dude. C'mon. 

 Blake Bortles threw dozens of incredibly inaccurate balls to wide open receivers last year. That is not an exaggeration in the slightest. He threw lots and lots of uncatchable balls and he threw lots of balls that forced the receivers to make ridiculous adjustments instead of hitting them in stride. 
He also missed out on huge potential gains often by staring down one receiver and forcing the ball into coverage. 
There was plenty of separation. He just has crap timing too often and doesn't even bother to make two reads half of the time.
