As a QB, if you wait until the receiver comes out of a break to throw the ball, it's too late. This is why he has so many tipped interceptions. The only way Bortles will look even halfway competent is to move him around and out of the pocket. Short passes behind the LBs and in the flats.

I'm actually surprised someone else understands this about the qb position. All the successful qb's have a deep and thorough understanding of the playbook.

Secretly, that's why Tom Brady is so good, he is the definition of continuity. Yeah his coordinator's may have changed, but I bet there hasn't been too much change to that playbook because Bill is still there.
