Quote:1st pick was a rookie mistake. 2nd wasnt really his fault. 3rd was just a dumb move I dont think he ever does again. Im not overly worried considering he has shown a lot of promise in other games. It was expected he was going to struggle against a complex defense that CLE runs

 

Are you mixing the order of the interceptions up? The only interception I'm overly worried about is the 2nd, which you deem "wasn't really his fault." That interception was him rushing a throw off his backfoot to try to beat a blitz. I've been outspoken about my biggest fear for Bortles being him developing a lack of trust in his O-Line or having his internal QB clock get messed with due to being hit early and often. Seeing him rush his decision and throw, leading to a throw with poor mechanics and an interception is basically everything I'm worried about with him. Hopefully that isn't frequent.

 

The first sack his arm was hit as he was throwing because Harbor got abused. That's the one that I don't blame Bortles for.  :confused: 

 

The third looked like him overthinking; he had room to run but instead decided to toss it for no real reason. I can only imagine he was thinking too much about what he should be doing as opposed to just reacting to what the defense was giving him. I'm not overly worried about that either; I trust that as Bortles continues playing the game will start to slow down for him and those types of decisions will become less frequent.  Until then though, we'll probably continue to see some boneheaded rookie mistakes. Its what you get when you play a rookie.
