Ben and Blake bear a slight resemblance in frame size and some escapability, but Blake looks to have a faster release and faster straight line speed over Ben. We still have no idea on so many other key qb functions like read progressions,audibles,throwing lanes,touch passing, this linking of two qb's with so little NFL tape on Bortles is ridiculous. One person said it and it sounded insightful, now people are really going over the top linking the game of Blake and Ben.Basically they are both big,can run,and have lively arms.So did Dan Fouts and Terry Bradshaw,butI never hear comparisons with those two. Blake has his own game and I wish Jax fans would remove him from Rothlisberger's shadow by eliminating that reference before it becomes cemented in hype.


Bowanko looked decent but this was not the hardest test. Those are to come. He seems to have a tendency to come up too fast,get off balance and is susceptible to being pushed back after losing leverage.But like the qb whose hands are on his rear, they will learn together. It looks like Bowanko to Bortles could be a solid tandem with much more work.it will be interesting when we finally get our RT back and healthy how good this lineup will grade.
