Greg Gabriel (National Football Post) incredibly accurate scouting report of Blake Bortles

He has improved on pocket awareness. He isn't just running,is not scared like Gabbert, and he seems to feel pressure to step one way or the other. He can fire a rocket and split defenders, and he can throw it high over the middle for our receivers to go up for or a fast slant. He does that well. Two things are still concerning and one was mentioned in the article,

1 his deep throws, anything with an arc and he tends to overthrow. We see him wind up and everyone holds their breath. Not sure if he is just super paranoid about interceptions or what but he isn't hitting guys in stride on long bombs.

2. He also has a problem in the red zone. another hold your breath time, probably half this board tightens up when we get to the 20.  It doesn't seem like he can read through heavy traffic well to hit a man standing on the goal line where only we can catch it low,  and he can't seem to consistently hit that tiny back corner of the end zone. It sails on him.

 

Then we bring on the field goal unit once again.., I think it can be worked on, but it would seem he would have done the mental calc in his head for his receivers speed on long bombs, and still he overthrows them by a couple of yards and it's a little concerning at this point.
