Guys Blake can do a lot of NFL things. Just cause he was very rough in a couple of areas (mostly footwork and anticipation) doesn't mean he can't pull it all together with his first real offseason. He went to California and trained for a couple weeks with Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees as well as some Jags receivers, he's studying the hell out of film and that playbook right now, and he'll be at the practice facility at 6 AM for OTAs and training camp just like he did last summer. He'll be fine.


I'm glad we drafted a great athlete, a hard worker, a fierce competitor who doesn't quit, a tough big guy who plays through pain and more hits than any other QB in the NFL last year, and a mature 22 year old. I believe things will fall into place and he will be humble and proactive about working on whatever flaws he has. Blaine Gabbert had "footwork and anticipation" and had one of the best pro day workouts we've seen the last 5 years, but he had nothing that I listed about Bortles in this paragraph.
