Quote:Based on what? Bortles 1st preseason game & camp? I'm not saying he won't, but I can remember it like it's yesterday... Colts vs Rams, Luck's first preseason game (he killed it, looked great) and 95% of posters on here called me a homer for being excited. Weird how that happens and the tables turn...

 

Based on what I've seen of Bortles in college, in camp, in the scrimmage, and in the preseason so far. He looks like a cross between Luck and Roethlisberger.

 

I wasn't posting here when Luck was drafted, but I recall his rookie season and a few games in it was clear he wasn't hype and was going to be successful.

 

However, getting back to the Jaguars and colts rosters, I think the biggest problem your team will have is that Luck made you too good too fast and Mathis and Wayne are too old to be great players going into the future. While I expect the Jaguars will have another top 12 pick next draft and haul in another 3 or 4 impact guys.

 

I can see the Jaguars giving the colts the kind of fits that the Chargers gave the colts in the second half of the aughts where even if Luck is a little bit better than Bortles due to experience, he'll be the guy facing the more difficult challenging defense.
