Quote:Yea pretty much, just a little bit more motivation to get better for Bortles, as if he needed it. I hear the guy is very competitive even in the off-season and I hope he takes another big step into elite status this year. Teddy Bridgewater is literally a new age, skinny David Garrard. Efficient, average, and somewhat effective with a good roster around him. Shouldn't even sniff the top 100, let alone top 10 @ QB. You put Teddy on the 2014 Jaguars and I would be shocked if he was still walking and threw more than 10 tds. You put Bortles on the Vikings and that is a scary team/offense.

If you put Bortles in Minnesota last year, do you believe they would have won more than 11 games, win the division ahead of Green Bay, make playoffs and lose by 1 pt to Seattle?


I staunchly don't believe they would have, precisely due to Bortles' style of play. High risk, high reward.


Many around here are obsessed with just how average Bridgewater is. And he doesn't even play for the team. Imagine if Jags had drafted him? He would have been harassed to pieces.


Bortles and Bridgewater fit their respective systems. Only, Bridgewater has proven he can win 10+ games and make the playoffs, in year 2. Gripe all you want. Reality says look at me in the face.
