Quote:His didn't have the big bailout, go get it type WR like Evans, Amari, Adams, or even Parker. However, he did have a WR corps that was very good after the catch. When Blake hit Perriman or Hall with room to run they picked up YAC as well as anyone. 

 

I think thats what he was getting at. As evidenced by his weaker deep ball and tons of shorter passes. People diss Teddy for throwing to open receivers because of scheme (which he controls BTW) but Bortles throws so many screens and slats its amazing. Bortles does occasionaly make a solid throw on the right side post going over the middle but beyond that his WRs are rarely asked to use the whole route tree. His entire offense is based around creating YAC with some read option mixed in.

 

Deep Comebacks , Dig routes over the middle where the WR breaks after 10+yards , double moves, pump and go ,  corner routes , back shoulder throws are NFL throws and Bortles isnt asked to do these nearly as much as Teddy and even Manziel. He primarily runs screens, slants and hitches with tons of 1 read stuff and staring down his first option.....sound familiar?
