Quote:I really want Bortles to improve his completion rating. That's all.

 

I think part of it is his mentality. I have a feeling that Blake is the opposite of Garrard and Henne in that he doesn't look to check down...almost to a fault. 

 

When nearly half of your passes are going to ARob and Hurns AND both players are averaging over 16 yards per catch? That's so rare that your top two receivers are accounting for that many looks and still averaging that high.

 

Last season, Denver's high powered offense of Thomas/Sanders didn't do it (neither one hit 15 in fact). Baltimore had two speedsters in the Smiths and a QB known for the deep ball, and they didn't hit 16 (Torrey was at 15.7). Steelers with Brown/Bryant didn't do it.

 

Two seasons ago, Thomas and Decker didn't do it.

 

I mean, if they sustain this rate, both ARob and Hurns would be in the top 5 per catch average the past three seasons. This is unprecedented stuff here. And while I would like to believe that these two are just having ridiculous seasons, we all know this isn't the case.
