Bortles' knack for pushing the ball down field is commendable. It's good to see fearlessness and big throws that have been non existent since Brunell to Smooth n KMac.


His absolute flaw is the timing and nature of the turnovers. There are ints, then there's ints on the 1, pick sixes at the most critical junctures, etc. I call them game-over plays...they suck the life out of games and are devastating to any team.


In that regard, as promising as Bortles has looked, these ghastly mistakes have derailed the team and directly led to some losses. So, yeah, he is part of the problem, in spite of the struggling ground game and deplorable D.


The art of winning is grossly underestimated. Good QBs guide their teams to victory even in dire conditions. Blake Bortles is not there yet but he has time in his hands.
