Quote:It's like you're looking to discount last year as a fluke or something. Forget the stats.... if you watched the games last year then you know Bortles was throwing extremely well downfield. If you think he wasn't, then you really don't know your football. I'm not discounting that he had a couple great WRs out there, but Bortles was seeing then get open deep and delivered strike after strike. 


 

Simply put, if you're trying to say that Blake is playing the same as he did last year but last year he was just lucky, then you're seriously deluding yourself.

 

no, Blake was much better last year.  He showed good improvement from year 1 to year 2.  A lot of his stuff was with softer defenses when we were already losing though.  He rarely lit it up in the first half.

 

this year he's much worse.  I don't see him as optimistically as you do.  I think he doesn't have many redeeming qualities.  I predict he will start for maybe another year in the NFL (2017) and then will become a backup.
