Quote:Saying Bridgewater's pocket presence is better than Bortles' (given that Teddy does a better job of sliding side-to-side) is an assertion of my opinion based on what I have seen.

 

It is a much more credible statement however, than saying that Bortles has the "IT" factor and "presence" and "leadership" that Teddy supposedly doesn't possess...because quite frankly, there is no way, in any way shape and form those statements can be proven.

 

I agree, saying like "IT factor" are basically meaningless and should be used by guys like Skip Bayless.

 

What we can quantify is, for instance, number of comeback wins, which I think is a nice statistic.

 

For me, the best attribute that Bortles has is his passing on the run ability and his pocket awareness.  I think he'll buy time with his feet a lot of times, for which guys like Marqise Lee will greatly benefit.
