Quote:What have I seen is Blake to think he may still be a franchise qb? Plenty...

• strong leadership
  
• strong physique, tall frame and large overall stature for a qb
  
• thorough understanding of the game and our system
  
• the ability to accurately sense pressure and to buy time in the pocket
  
• his ability to scramble and to accurately throw on the run
  
• extremely sharp downfield vision to find deepest player getting open
  
• adept at going through reads and finding the best option
  
• excellent touch on mid-range and deep throws, and exceptional accuracy on deepest throws
  
• doesn't check down unless it's the only option available (compare to Chad "Captain Checkdown" Henne)
  
• a comeback mentality with a tendency to be at his best in the fourth quarter when it counts the most
  
• The ability to quickly understand a defense enabling him to play well in no huddle situations
  
• humility to accept and apply advice when warranted
  
• Excellent overall athleticism for a qb his size
  
• Can take a hit and keep on ticking
  
• Keeps eyes downfield never looking at pass rush
  
• Nice, high release point
  

Things he needs to work on...

• An understanding of why his arm fatigues with a plan to rest it
  
• Maintaining crisper mechanics with a quicker throwing motion
  
• His overall short game
  
• Mid-range accuracy
  
• His fade pass
  
• Eliminating costly mistakes such as forcing throws
  
• Looking off dbs before throwing
  

I have no ides what you are seeing man.


strong leadership

strong physique, tall frame and large overall stature for a qb

thorough understanding of the game and our system

the ability to accurately sense pressure and to buy time in the pocket- He isn't very good at this


his ability to scramble and to accurately throw on the run- He is decent at moving out of the pocket I guess


extremely sharp downfield vision to find deepest player getting open- Nope. Bortles should never be described as having sharp down field vision


adept at going through reads and finding the best option- Absolutely not true, he can't read coverage


excellent touch on mid-range and deep throws, and exceptional accuracy on deepest throws- Nope , he struggles with basic ball placement


doesn't check down unless it's the only option available (compare to Chad "Captain Checkdown" Henne)- He should check down more


a comeback mentality with a tendency to be at his best in the fourth quarter when it counts the most


The ability to quickly understand a defense enabling him to play well in no huddle situations- He is god awful at reading defenses, gets baited easily


humility to accept and apply advice when warranted- what??


Excellent overall athleticism for a qb his size- Fair enough


Can take a hit and keep on ticking- Fair enough


Keeps eyes downfield never looking at pass rush- ?


Nice, high release point- Has the most batted balls in the league since he was drafted
