Bortles X factor

#1

Bortles may have found a strength when running against Buffalo.  Many people do not realize Bortles is 4th (yes all) all time in Rushing yards per attempts amoung QBs.  Bortles could add another wrinkle going forward into this offense.  I really hope to see them using borltes more on bootlegs, Shotgun, playaction, etc much more on first downs.  Dumb down the offense for him.  If his first or second read isn't there take off with it.  Seattle took that very same approach with Russel Wilson.  Pound the ball with Fournette and if the opponets are loading the box make them pay for it with Bortles on the move.  Bortles rating goes up dramatically when he is outside the pocket.

Pittsburgh is going to load the box and make Bortles beat them.  This team has got to find a way to make defense's pay instead of the run up the middle for 2 yards game plan.

To be Fair to Bortles, He is only 25 years old and doesn't have much help behind him.   Tom Brady would improve this offense but I don't think dramatically.  Just look at the issues

-Lost #1 receiver first catch of the season
-Hurns vanished once he got paid.
-Lee is hurt once again
-No real receiving threat at the tight end position
-Offense needs 2 new guards.  The offense is decent at pass blocking but the run blocking is horrendous. 
-Relying on 2 rookie Wr's
-Rookie Rb may have hit his wall with playing college football, training for combine and pre draft workouts, training camp, and taking a heavy load this year.

I believe letting Bortles use his athletic ability could be the X factor for this game.
