Quote:I'm not even sold on Bortles starting ASAP, but is there a reason to believe that he can't also work on fundamentals while getting play time? 

Working on fundamentals requires you to focus on your basic movements. In a game you have to focus on the play.

 

In order to focus on the play and have good fundamentals, your fundamentals have to be instinctual. Otherwise you will fall back on what is instinctual which are your bad habits.

 

The more you fall back on bad habits the more you reinforce the bad behavior. The more you reinforce the bad behavior the more difficult it becomes to change.
