Quote:nearly 10 YPA, TD/INt 1:1, Chunks of yardage, etc. Calm, Collected, and in command. The one thing that stood out was Bortles' ability to sell the run/play action. It was manning level good and fooled the defense three times. Two of them for chunks of run yardage. We saw Bortles throw INTs and then go right back the next series with more shots downfield.

 

What I really liked however was Jedd Fisch willing to do more tricks with Bortles in there as well as keep taking shots downfield. Was it really henne holding Fisch back? This could get it real interesting.

 

Bortles might not win alot this year but I am very certain hes gonna make games interesting to watch again. Thats all I ever wanted. A reason to watch.

 

I agree, it was exciting to watch him play.  That first INT was more of a great play on defense than Bortles fault I felt by Vonte Davis.  A couple dropped passes that shouldve been caught, but that is because they didnt have the time (reps) with Bortles so some of that should improve over the next week or two.  A couple bad passes and poor choices by Blake, but he's a rookie that's going to happen & a few of it can be chopped up by nerves.  The Chargers will game plan for Blake, and I expect a lot of blitzes for the rookie probably stunts since he likes to roll out.
