Quote:I agree.  Leftwich had the tools but he lacked the work ethic and was a bit fragile.  Bortles so far looks like he has neither of those issues and is more athletic to boot.  The only reason I mention it is because some people thought Lefty would be a better QB than Brunell and of course that never happened.

 

Leftwich had a big arm and he could make all the throws.  You just had to set his windup speed using a calendar.  He was tough as nails, but brittle too.  Not a good combination.  He was willing to take a beating to let a play develop, but his body just couldn't handle it.  He had the potential to possibly be better than Brunell, but aside from a few great plays, that potential never really developed.
