Here's the thread on the colts.com message board about Bortles. http://forums.colts.com/topic/30085-blake-bortles/

 

If you just want the cliffs notes version, most of them are either scared of the notion of the Jaguars being competitive or hopeful that there will finally be a true rival in the division.

 

Colts regulars? Who is it besides me? I would like to know lol (not counting Sammy)...

 

I really like Bortles, I think he'll be a good QB. I LOVED the roll out play in his end zone pass to the sideline (even though it was incomplete it was  beauty of a pass). I just find it funny everyone here ringing his bell like he's going to be the best QB in the NFL after playing 2 preseason games and going against backups. When Colts fans did the same thing with Luck (except he was playing starters) all of you called me a homer & irrational.... Sigh...

 

So in conclusion: what I've seen from Bortles looks like the tools & makeup to be a good QB, but I want to see more from him (preferably against starters) & I'm not going to crown him after 2 preseason games.

 

EDIT: Also in that link you posted... There is a Saints fan, Texans fan, & Pats fan posting in that thread as well...
