Quote:He is one of if not the best rookie I have seen play in his early career. Jacksonville has struck Gold and If I have to rate him against all other quarterbacks starting four games A+  I believe he is a gamer in that he plays better in games then practice. Reason for that statement is see him throw ducks in practice and spirals in games. He goes through is progressions and keeps his eyes down field! That is the sign of a great quarterback. Check down is the last option as it should be! 

 

Maybe practice just isn't enough to get his competitive juices flowing.  Then again, we haven't seen any practices lately.  They're closed to the public. 

 

A+

 

How many times have we looked at a rookie and said, well, maybe sometime in the future, year 2 or year 3, the light bulb will go on, and maybe then he'll become what he should become.   And we keep on rationalizing why he's not turned the corner yet. 

 

But with Bortles, right off the bat you can see it.   This guy is a star.   This is the guy we want for the next 10 years.  We don't have to envy any other team for having any other quarterback.   Maybe as Jags fans we're not used to seeing things like this.
