Quote:We'll see about Bridgewater.

 

I tend to think that when the dust settles, Bortles will be the guy with the better career, and Bridgewater will wind up being another great college prospect who wallowed in mediocrity in the NFL,

 

The Jags got the best QB in this draft because Houston decided to go with Clowney, and my hope is we'll be eternally grateful for that move.

 

 

I went back and watched more of Bortles this past week, and listened to interviews and just did some more overall research, and I came away thoroughly impressed. He's bright, big, tough, charismatic (which is important in leadership), throws a very nice deeper pass and doesn't seem afraid to do so when the opportunity presents itself, steps up in the pocket (how refreshing), and still has a bit of room for improvement/ potential once the coaches iron out some of the fixable area's like footwork. In addition to that, he's a gamer. Lots of come from behind victories. 

 

I should have done more research on this player pre draft than I did. I based a lot of my pre draft Bortles opinion off of the SC game, and that wasn't fair to Blake.
