Quote:His footwork was better last year too.  He's flat footed now and looks like he's trying to place the ball.  He looks like a drunk dad trying to win a teddy bear for his daughter at the local county fair...  Same flat footed stance, same aweful wind up, same focus on the ball while it's still in his hands, instead of the target.

 

And does anyone else notice at the very last second, it looks like he's trying to direct the ball like an inexperienced dart thrower.

 

He's literally becoming worse over the weeks.  Literally.

 

Quote:It's just baffling. His mechanics did not look like this last year. They were not perfect but were light years ahead of this. It's bordering on Tebow bad mechanically. 

 

  I watched a condensed version of the game against the Raiders that showed all of the plays but limited replays.   I agree with both of you that Blake Bortles has regressed substantially from a mechanical standpoint.   Unless Bortles is playing with an injury,   the Jaguars have an alarming situation.   I'm not sure what should be done but the more Bortles plays under the present circumstances,  the greater the chances of long term problems.   That long release could easily lead to an injury,  not just with him but with one of his receivers.   The DBs can tee off on the Jaguars WR's because of that release.
