Quote:That is fair.  He also makes some sensational throws.  That one off his back foot getting away from pressure to Julius can only be made by a few QB's.  Also, our offense is extremely predictable as far as pass vs run.  Bortles has to overcome our non existent running game.  No one fears the run and this is part of the reason teams are able to get so much pressure on him.  I think hey may have gotten out of 4 or 5 sacks with his feet.  Even his throwaways were big plays because many QB's wouldn't have been able to get away.  He also broke JJ Watt's ankles... hey, have to enjoy the small victories.  But he just has some of those bone headed decisions that are perplexing like the INT when trying to fit it into JT.  He made so many good decisions all half long and that throw just came out of nowhere.  You have to get 3 points out of that and why throw low when JT's best asset is his height and catching radius.  It is just some of the bad we will have to take with the good, for now...  I do think he is improving on decision making, but he is having to throw a lot of passes every week.  

 

Totally agree.  We're still very predictable in terms of whether were gonna run or pass.  That needs to be corrected.

 

The other thing I want to mention, just to add to what you're saying, we're constantly in 3rd and long situations and BB5 is always asked to bail us out.  It's amazing how successfull he is considering everything he has to deal with.  Yes there are still some passes he's leaving on the table, so to speak.  But man, I think he's still doing a heck of a great job.  He's not perfect yet.  But he's close.  There are 5-7 passes each game he is still missing or making poor decisions on.  But there's about 25-30 passes that he looks like a legitimate top 10 QB.
