The Great Blake Bortles

#57

Quote:I agree. How many people said the same thing on the colts message board during his rookie year. It happens.

 

He will have to tighten it up at some point, but then again, so do a lot of other players. It is all relative.

 

Things will get better. Lots of very green rookies earning their stripes.
ditto, I would rather we kept letting him air it out at the moment. 

 

The first pick, hit as he throws could have sailed perfectly, gone harmlessly incomplete but just happened to float nicely for the pick

second pick, that's something you learn by seeing more and more looks so that's time

 

third pick, everyone lost their minds about but I wasn't that fussed I am pretty sure he only saw the defender in front moving up to meet him so he went to shorts to try guarantee the first down not seeing the corner lurking on the play.

 

It was a bad read no doubt but I can sort of see how much pressure is on blake not to mention what he puts on himself, you could tell that by his press conference, he was gutted. He is a rookie and a competitor desperate to win and he has had to put the team on his back these last few weeks with no running game and the defense doing a good impression of a wet paper bag.

 

I hope seeing the team essentially carry him today with 3 picks will relieve some of that pressure and give him faith that he doesn't necessarily  need to force these plays that it's ok sometimes to go through his reads and just check it down.

 

I think that will cause a natural drop in his ints and also help him stop staring down his primary read so I would rather keep letting him air it out and not restrict the exciting gunsligner we currently have
