Quote:Yeah. As much as I love Bortles, we have no room to talk. Sure it's logical to think he'll continue progressing, but there's a slight chance he regresses.


At THIS POINT, Schaub had the better career than Blake. We can't talk trash yet.

 

You're wrong on two counts. First one is that it's easy to recognize in hind sight that guys like Schaub and Garrard were just middle of the pack at best QBs. There is no irony in being able to see that.

 

Second is the notion that Schaub has had a better career. As it is if he's remembered at all it'll be as an injury prone game manager that never could pull out a win if it was on his shoulders to put his team ahead. Bortles, on the other hand, is already well above where Schaub is as far as perception goes. If Bortles were to get hit by a meteorite and never played again he'd be remembered as an incredible stud whose career was cut tragically short.

 

Could Bortles screw that up? Sure, and pigs could fly. We've seen Bortles, we know what he's got. As long as he doesn't suffer a career ending injury he's going to be a franchise level QB for a long time.
