Quote:Still looks better than Gabs ever did.

Looks better than Geno in year 1 or 2.

 

Is he Andrew Luck? No. But nobody said he was going to be.

Can he be really good with progression? Probably. We've seen the flashes.

 

Should he really progress that much from game to game in his rookie season? Get a grip. He has enough time to review tape, and then install and plan for the next team. The season as a whole is a learning season for him. Not game to game. In the offseason they'll be able to fine tune mechanics and everyone around Bortles should progress as well and we should see it out of the gate next season.

 

If not... then maybe you guys' complaints will hold water.

People don't really understand how to evaluate rookies period. Right now we are not looking for progression or consistency. This year we are trying to see if the guy has some ability and tools that we develop. Is he a guy that we can build a team around and if he shows some flashes of being able to play in the NFL at a high level.

 

Next year is when start to look for progression and some forms of consistency. I think him as well as the team will be much improved next year but it will still be some ups and downs. I really don't think true consistency in the qbs that are successful don't start to set in until around year 4-6. But we will continue to see that he is a guy we can build around that's for sure.
