He will show flashes that he's the guy and make some great throws, and then he will just Bortles it up and make me question everything. His deep ball accuracy is TERRIBLE. He stares down receivers. He forces the ball to covered receivers.

What you are describing sure sounds like an inexperienced QB. He threw two picks that were the result of very good coverage coming off their men. Those are savvy plays by the defenders.

He ain't doinking passes off of helmets or chucking prayers at guys in double and triple coverage.

I mean, get mad. Scream into the void if it helps. Truth is, all we can do is cheer for the laundry and hope it improves.

Repeat after me. It could be A LOT worse.

Yeah. Trev still hasn't had a lot of Bortles moments.... pick 6s that make no sense, doinks off OL helmets.... not a lot of ducks. He also doesn't have any  Sanchez "butt fumble" type moments (google it if you're somehow young enough to not remember) .

But this goes back to the point I've always tried to make about these young QBs, once in a generation talent is hyperbole spewed from draftniks and people who pretend to know what the heck they're talking about. Few guys are actually NFL ready right away, all guys need development, and they all need a decent roster around them.

Trevs freshman campaign was terrible. Bad team. Bad coaching. Bad everything. A complete throwaway. This is year 1 of his NFL development and getting a decent roster and staff around him.

Let's pump the brakes on any bust talk for sure. He has to play better. Surely. But let's not act like he doesn't give you more hope than Bortles, Gabbert, Minshew or the plethora of other QBs we've trotted out in the past decade ever did.
