Quote:Of course they're problematic, but it's a part of his playing style right now and he's a still a young player that will continue to develop. That TD throw to Hurns could've easily gone the other way
, but he still threaded the needle and it turned into a game-changing play.Either way, just enjoy the fact that he has thrown 10 TDs to 1 interception over the past 3 games and that he's continuing to improve on his decision-making.

 

From my perspective, I don't think the throw / TD to Hurns was all that close to being intercepted. The replay shows that the Safety is a step away when Hurns is tucking the ball in, you can fast forward to the 1:53 mark for the play, and if anything the Safety should have gone for the hit and not the ball. But that's Dwight Lowery for ya. I recognize that the bang-bang nature of the play makes it seem like Bortles got lucky with that one but I really feel like he dropped a dime on 'em and just isn't getting the benefit of the doubt.

 

Now, does that mean that Blake is always making good decisions? Nah. But I do like that he's willing to take a shot.
