I found some amazing stats that might explain Bortles' recent struggles.

Quote:You're comparing 2 different positions. It's much harder to play QB in today's NFL and harder to evaluate from college. Allen Robinson has a 42 inch vert and that hasn't changed. He's always been a guy that can go up and get it. He's been going up and getting the ball since before the iconic Michigan catch. That's easier to project in the NFL. Easily a solid pick for Caldwell barring injury which is why we traded up for him. Blake said himself just throw ARob a jump ball and the worst you can do is throw it over his head. The fact that ARob has turned into the monster that he has is a testament to his hard work and the great Jerry Sullivan.


The speed of the NFL can overwhelm a QB. It's done so many, many more times than a WR. The ball itself is different than in college. Then you got reading defenses, protection schemes, blitz disguising, the bright lights, etc. I'm not calling Bortles a bust. I'm saying he is not the "be all" of this offense. At least not right now.
