Quote:So TMD what do you like about Bortles? Just curious what positives you see in him. Who does he remind you of?

 

Granted some of this is from doing some research after the fact of drafting him......,

 

but, 

 

I do like the fact that he seems to throw well on the run. I like that UCF allegedly isn't a very talented offense as far as skill players go, and he seemed to do more with less, which is one of the traits I look for in both QB and coach. As much as I don't like it to be amongst the first attributes mentioned with a QB - I do like the prototypical size Bortles has. I like the fact that he won his bowl game, and did so despite adversity - i.e. had to come from behind to do it. Winners are able to do that. 

 

Another thing I like (and I think I was correct in this observation) was that he seems to keep his eyes downfield, much like Teddy, when he's on the run or trying to evade pressure.
