Quote:There have actually been people on this board referring to Blake as "Blaine" Bortles. I just don't see it. Even as a rookie, Blake has had more pocket presence than Gabbert ever did. Gabbert's first inclination was to either bail due to phantom pressure or simply go down with no pass rush around him.


Even when Blake leaves the pocket, you can see that his eyes are downfield and he's trying to pass. When there's no viable receiver, he takes off. When he stays in the pocket, he's very fluid and works the entire pocket. I'm right proud of the strides he's made. Looks franchise to me.
