Quote:A 16-point loss would have been more satisfying to me because I wanted to see what Blake can do in a hurry-up situation. Now I am still left with the question "Is Bortles a good clock manager?" becaues Jedd Fisch did not tell him to run a one-minute drill. That was really the big disappointment for me.

 

In the end a field goal would not have helped. But don't you think it would have been better to go into the locker room tied than trailing by three points?

I have no doubt in my mind that Bortles is a good clock manager.

 

He proved capable of doing that in the preseason against Detroit, where right before half, he drove the team down the length of the field, starting from inside his own 5 yard line.

 

He's heady enough to have already mastered the fake spike.

 

Picture Bortles, and the rookies with a year's experience under their belt, with Blackmon, working together for a full offseason.

 

That will definitely be worth the price of admission.

 

Now is NOT the time to give up your tickets if you can help it.
