As a UCF grad, I know I'm biased toward Bortles, but I think he could be a really good NFL QB.  He's not a guy that is going to pick you apart like P Manning or Brady, but he has a knack for always playing his best when you need it ala Roehtlisburger or E Manning.  I don't get a chance to watch many other college QBs (I go to UCF games or watch them every week), so I can't say if all of these QBs make those types of plays.  Bortles routinely makes 3 and 10 throw after 3 and 10 throw.  He does move around the pocket a lot, but makes EXCELLENT throws on the run.  I'd say he's more accurate with Clowney chasing him to his left than standing in a perfect pocket.  I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but it is what it is.

 

I know everyone has seen his tape, but watch it one more time and see the down, distance, and situation of the throws.  Hitting a 30 yard seem with a DE steamrolling you on 3rd and 10 with 45 seconds to go in a tied game is a bit harder than a 60 yard pass, down the sideline from a perfect pocket on 1st down (he misses these from time to time).
