In all of the Bortles threads I've seen a lot of excuses... "he's a rookie, rookie WRs, OL sucks, OC sucks, Bradley sucks etc." but not once has anybody ever given a reason why they think Bortles will be successful. Nothing that Bortles has ever done on the football field is ever mentioned. The OL being bad doesn't mean that Bortles is good. People say he's shown 'flashes'. What flashes are these? When? What games are you going to point to to say that he's shown the ability to be a franchise QB? Teddy and even Carr have had those games. Bortles hasn't. What qualities does Bortles have that make anybody think he'll be a franchise QB? Is it his accuracy? No, he routinely misses wide open receivers on easy throws. His decision making? He's replaced his terrible interceptions with terrible checkdowns. His pocket presence? It's terrible. Forget the excuses. What does Bortles do well?
