What Makes Bortles a Franchise Quarterback

#35

Quote:Because of his prototypical size, I can understand why most GMs would rather gamble on Bortles than the other two; strangely enough, Bortles lacks the elite arm strength that past elite QB prospects naturally have.


I also understand why people questioned whether TB has what it takes to be the face of a franchise. If you watch his interviews, you can tell that he understands football, but he is camera shy, which is something you don't expect a young franchise QB to be. He's still very young -- only 21 -- so he probably hasn't develop that skill yet, which is understandable since Louisville is a small school he didn't have to do press conferences often.


Manziel, on the other hand, just exudes confidence, and he has that star persona to him. This is an area where he has both TB and Bortles beat. Even then, teams just can't gamble on him in the early to mid first round. He comes with a lot of questions. Honestly, if not for Russell Wilson's success, I don't think Manziel would have been drafted in the first round.


Honestly, I just don't know what to think of this draft class. Is it mediocre or solid but not good enough? The opinions are just all over the place. Even a certain pundit on NFL.com said that Carr was the safest QB prospect. Only time will tell.
you don't have Imto have elite arm strength to be a franchise QB plus if he fixes his mechanics his arm really won't be as much of a problem. Watching his pro day Bortles showed me he has plenty of arm strength but I think it's more of an issue of his mechanics/foot work.
