Did anyone see Gary Grambling's column in MMQB last week?

 

Grambling compared Bortles with (gasp!) Tim Tebow - in the sense that both seem to have decent mechanics during practice but revert to ugliness during games because they are spending so much mental effort trying to figure out defenses the good mechanics fly out the window.  

 

He wasn't calling Bortles (or Tebow for that matter) dumb, but he did say different QBs have different time frames for figuring out NFL defenses. He thinks it probably would have helped Bortles to have sat out a year or two. 

 

We'll never know. And why do people assume the QB coach didn't try and work on mechanics, even though it may have been fairly brief due to time constraints.
