 I’m a UCF alum so I will admit bias.



 

That being said I have watched every collegiate game that Bortles has played (30+).  The best way to describe him….he WINS. 

He never quits.  He does not get flustered.  He’s a leader.  He controls the huddle and the offense.  He’s the first one in the film room and the last one to leave.  He plays with a chip on his shoulder and finds a way to WIN.  Sure he makes mistakes.  Can you name a quarterback in the NFL that doesn’t? 



 

A lot of you here are not sure about this pick, but I’m telling you…you will love this kid.  There is no do

ubt in my mind he will lead the Jags to great things.  Be patient and enjoy the ride.

 

Good call, but you had watched him for a long time so you had a little more insight then the average Jaguars fan.  And you have to remember, when we heard this initially some of us were thinking back to the time some Missouri fans were coming on saying very similar things about Gabbert.  As it turns out, these guys are *nothing* alike but as they say, once bitten twice shy.
