Quote:Fixing the mechanics will help everything else. At the moment he knows they are not right so he's second guessing himself and does not seem fully confident in his arm leading to slower decision making and less 50/50 balls downfield.

 

I wonder if fixing his mechanics is possible at this point. 

 

What frustrates me is that he improved them in year 2, and then instead of going back to work on it a lot more and really making it muscle memory, it has regressed to how he looked in year 1.

 

 

It's a huge red flag.  It's like drafting a shooting guard in the NBA and then saying "well, you're gonna have to start shooting jump shots THIS way"...  that's fine and dandy if it's a project in the middle or later rounds, but when your entire franchise depends on whether he can do it, it makes me pretty worried.

 

 

and that's not even factoring in that it sees like Bortles isn't the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to football and reading defenses.
