Respected ex Dallas VP of player personal Gil Brandt as well as other former GMs having been giving Blake very high remarks over the last few weeks about his progress from rookie to sophomore year.


Gil Brandt has the top 5 QBs over the last 2 drafts in this order:

1. Blake Bortles

2. Marcus Mariota

3. Jameis Winston

4. Derek Carr

5. Teddy Bridgewater

 

WoW thats saying a lot because I for one value Gil Brandt's opinion heavily over others opinions.  I would agree that Blake Bortles has played the best in the last two years among the rookies because he had almost no oline, wasnt supposed to play his rookie year, started with a bad OC, had very young WRs whom played injured, had no running game to speak of compared to other teams,

he had a lot of hits if it wasnt for his ability to move he wouldve been destroyed.

 

Marcus looked great against a very weak Jaguars Defense.. and despite holding the colts to only 3 points in the 2nd half.. it had more to do with the Colts not having a QB especially with Matt's injury & Luck not being suited up..

the fact is the Jaguars are the worst at stopping the pass (DBs)... so until that changes the team wont go to the playoffs.
