Bortles Developing Faster than anticipated?


Quote:The mechanical issues Blake had coming out of UCF can’t be resolved in a few weeks at training camp, those type of issues typically take a long time as you're retraining your muscles. I don't think it matters if he looks better than Chad Henne right now, that's not the ultimate goal, he won't start until he has a firm grasp of the playbook (the reports indicate he's doing well in this area) and the mechanical issues have been cleaned up, considering these things, one can expect Blake to make starts later in the year.
You're wasting your time on this one. 

 

Most here understand that even if he's looking good in the preseason against backups, there are still issues that he'll need to address.  Mechanics don't magically fix themselves in short order.  It's learned behavior he's dealt with his entire football career that they need him to relearn. These fixes need to be instinctual for him, and that's going to take time to develop.  He's getting the extra attention and extra reps as part of the process, but there's still a learning curve to be overcome. 

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
