Quote:You've fallen for the guy and are dismissing even the early reports by GMs that what you posted isn't true.

 

GMs have doubted this guy more than the media from the very start.

 

The signs were always there, it's just that they were swept under the rug by those following the crowd.  This was being talked about WELL before the Pro Day.

 

I've fallen for no one i simply dont see what is taking away from what we've seen on the actual field for 2 seasons. Somehow Bortles who has major mechanical issues with footwork , a barely average arm and is a virtual unknown jumps from nowhere in a meh statistical season and is suddenly a more sure pick then the guy who has played at the top of his game on the main stage for 2 years in a row.

 

Do you not see the problem with that?  I could see if TB had one good season but thats not the case.

 

What signs were there? Bad Footwork? Inability to read a defense? barely average arm? Pass happy spread offense padding numbers? Clear lack of pocket awarness? All nopes but they are all things Bortles shows every game and is now being considered better because he "has the size" and is a"prototypical" QB prospect. Sounds real familiar to another QB with clear cut pocket issues , coming from a spread offense with little to no under center work except even Gabbert had a cannon for an arm.
