(For fun) Where do you see Bortles in 3 years?

#19

Quote:I see him being at minimum top 7 in three years. I re-watched the game today and dudes mechanics look identical to Andrew Luck's. He has pocket presence and just a knack for making plays when there would be no play. He really just need to gain experience playing and I see him being a league leader in all passing categories. I'm sold on the guy. 
 

I feel like top 7 is about right in three years too.   I haven't compared the mechanics to anyone really - and I think Blake's mechanics are still a work in progress and may evolve as he grows into the coaching. The progress thus far is already impressive. The feet aren't perfect but much, much better than the college cut-ups I saw. I love the natural quick release and lack of big wind-up.  (even when he does 'wind-up' it's half of Leftwich's motion and he's shown the ability to "flick" it without any wind-up at times.)

 

The innate pocket presence and play-extending ability are the most exciting elements of his game to me as they are rarely this apparent in QBs his age.  That projects well. 

 

I'm not there yet with "league leader" stuff you mentioned - but I hope you are right!
