Blake Bortles Has Been Named Week One Starter [merged]


DSomething I've continued to say about Blake since 2015 is that he's at his best when he goes "Hulk." I kept seeing this play out in games in 2015 where he started out looking not so great... then something happens usually kind of ugly like an INT... at that point in 2015, something would snap in him and suddenly he literally couldn't be stopped. I keep saying that if our defense was better that year, we would have won games. In 2016 you had the arm fatigue, the arm injury and the guy never went Hulk. He started playing well in December, but still never went Hulk.

Well, he might have just hit that low again having been benched by Marrone. Watch him in his recent interview starting at 2:43...

Bortles: "Doesn't change the mindset"

It's as though he's talking about going Hulk. I know Blake has it in him to even take a team to the big dance if he can get back to what he was doing in 2015, but still for me to pay that $19 mil I need to know he can play like that consistently, and I need to know that his arm fatigue issues can be effectively managed long-term.
