I think we all had hoped he'd be leading the team to victories. Certainly, more victories than we currently have and certainly more than what we'll probably end up with. But, the reality of it all is that he doing rookie things and making rookie decisions. However, he is doing some things that cannot be blamed on him just being a rookie. First off, he has a huge problem of telegraphing alot of his passes. That is NOT a rookie mistake. That is a really bad habit and trait the he needs to make a conscious decision to correct. Secodly, as a direct result of him telegraphing, he is forcing his passes into the receiver that vhas no business having the pass thrown to him. He's stupidly throwing into a crowd and those odds are not good it will get completed. Kind of reminds me of Brett Favre towards the end of his career because Bret too was forcing passes into coverages that surely he was going to get burned. Bortles has that gunslinger mentality just like Favre but he needs to temper that with making wise decisions. Let's hope that kind of wisdom comes with seasoning. We all hope he turns out as we all think he will but he has got to quit making obvious stupid mistakes.
