Quote:First of all, my answer is absolutely not. I'm just shocked that a FSU (and Jaguars) fan on the College Football forum I frequent is saying things like this:


"No he isn't. Love my Jags, and I think Bortles was a good pick, but he doesn't even inhabit the same football universe as Winston."


and


"And if I turn out right am I biased? There's actually very little bias in my projection. Unless, you can point me to all the scouts and what not who have ever mentioned Winston and Bortles as having comparable talents. I've watch Bortles, and your rot he could potentially be a top 3 QB, but according to expert opinions Jameis does just about everything better (off-field behavior no included)."




Is this FSU fan off his rocker or is this a common train of thought by FSU fans?

 

definitely not. even if it was say, for mariota, its seemingly a lateral move if bortles never had experience in the nfl.

 

at this point bortles knows the offense and has nfl experience and has shown us that he can be a good quarterback. he has the whole team rallying around him already. trading him would be terrible for team morale.

 

furthermore in terms of jameis being better than bortles? thats laughable. even eliminating his off field issues.

 

i dont think he is smart enough to be successful in the nfl, reading defenses.

he is a pretty slow runner.

not extraordinarily accurate

and has a slow release
