Quote:And another fun related statistic he is a 6ft4 'prototypical' quarterback with a big arm.


It's funny because I've heard this before somewhere

say what?

big arm, nope if there is anything i can criticise bortles for it's a lack of arm strength.

i think you are thinking of carr who is the big arm guy

 

bortles is the opposite of gabbert if you watch him, pocket presence is one of his strengths, he takes hits well and is more mobile the gabbert

however he doesn't have the power to stretch the field and occassionally overtrusts his arms and tries to fit it in to a too tight spot

 

@nyc: i would agree with you on the top 5 thing and would love to trade down and pick him up, but with a feeding frenzy that should be behind us in cleveland minnesota and tampa i don't think he will be there if we traded down

 

i reckon alot of qbs will go at an inflated pick with teams reluctant to miss out... though i am quite happy for us to go de instead i very much doubt he will make it out of the top 10
