Quote:We have been told that Bortles' mechanics have essentially been rebuilt from the ground up.  Any changes that have been made need to be repeated enough that they become automated so that there is no risk of Bortles reverting back to old habits when under fire, which would stunt his growth.  It's highly unlikely that Blake could permanently automate those changes in a pre-season.

 

I too am impatient and want to see him play sooner than later, but not at the expense of his development.

 

Bingo. 

 

Do we want to throw him in there too early and maybe win a meaningless game or 2 that we might not have in a non playoff season or do we want to throw him in there when the coaches feel the mechanics are finally second nature to him so that the finished product is at a level that could be amongst the leagues top 5-10 QB?....
