Quote: But also a pretty big Jags fan.  I was really pumped when we picked BB5 after seeing him in person for the last few years.  It is amazing the difference a few years makes.  When Blake first came to UCF he sat behind a glorified WR.  He had no media attention, and during fan days he was as easy to gain access to as the backup punter.  One year later he shot up from 6'3 to 6'6, and people started to take notice.  Still, he wasn't getting much hype compared to Bridgewater and Manziel.  However, Bortles junior season was a huge success for both him and the UCF program.  When he joined the first round discussion even I had my doubts about him.  A part of me said that his size was the only reason why he was gaining consideration as the first quarterback taken off the board.  

 

I couldn't have been any more wrong.  He has much more than size.  This guy has the "it factor"  No stage is too big for him. Whether it was facing Bridgewater at Louisville, or going up against Baylor as 17 point underdogs, nothing fazed him.  Furthermore, his foot work is SO much better than it was at UCF.  If he can correct stuff like that so quickly, its amazing to think what else he can fix in such a short amount of time.  He has shown arm strength now that was never seen during his career at UCF.  I don't know if I am extremely biased or something, but he already looks like a top 10 quarterback in this league.  Yes, I know that is an interesting statement.  Something just tells me that this guy brings good things to any team he plays for.  

 

I can't wait for today's game.  To be honest I'm not expecting a win, but I think Bortles will show once again that he could be special.

 

Go Jags!  Go Knights!
