I am very impressed with the job Bortles has done so far....but lets be honest....1 TD drive. The rest stalled with FG's or resulted in punts. Not sure how you can disparage a QB for "only throwing TD's"....lol. What is this the Cris Carter critique???  

Uh.... TDs against 3's in preseason don't count for much.

 

Second... the eye test showed Teddy struggle mightily before coming on better later in the preseason.

 

My critique however, wasn't of Teddy, it was of the news reports. Talking heads see 4 TDs and 0 INTs and it's easy to announce them as "the best" rookie, when the rest don't have those stats.

Bortles has had some drops from receivers that could have had drives continue. 

 

I haven't watched much of the other rooks but I know of the "Big 3" Bortles has looked better than Manziel and Teddy. I'd argue that Teddy probably has a better Oline though.

 

Either way... I'M not worried about what they say on ESPN and NFLN. When Bortles is finally under center there won't be much they'll be able to deny the kid. He's good and it doesn't matter if Teddy has looked better, is deemed better, or is actually better. All that matters is that Bortles develops, grows, matures, leads, and wins, here.
