Article indirectly explains why Bortles is the perfect QB for this team

Quote:Teddy doesn't have ideal sized hands, which can lead to less grip. The glove helps him get better grip. HIs pro day he threw without the glove, and he was inaccurate. I don't know if he wore it here in Jacksonville, but he did for the workout with the Vikings.

 

Players drop for all kinds of reasons. Maybe it was the bad pro day. Maybe it was the size issues. Maybe teams just prefer more talkative and players with swag (no question that Dave/Gus likes those types based on the players we've brought in the past couple of years). Who knows. But GMs, scouts, and teams are far from infallible...and players who fall in the draft time and time again (but end up being great players) prove that just as players who rise in the draft (but fail to produce in the Pros) does.
 

Yes, but there is a direct correlation with draft pick and future production, so to speak.

 

The exact same argument can be used for a guy like Aaron Murray for example.   He may end up being a Drew Brees.... do I think he will? That's a definite no.
