Quote:See I don't get the whole "coaching" thing. Does a coach improve a player? Sure. But the amount of issues the Blake has should of been coached out of him 12 years ago. He's in the big leagues and much of what is to be coached is polishing already good qualities. Blake is having to be completely demolished and rebuilt. Someone in the NFL shouldn't need as much coaching as he does just to make basic throws.

I don't necessarily think he needs to be "coached" on how to do a specific thing, rather a coach who strives for correct repetitions over time, a coach who knows how to refine mechanics and a coach who holds people incredibly accountable. What any good teacher would do.


I really believe Bortles makes most of those mistakes, not neccesarily because of a coaching issue or lack of knowledge, but because there is no one who is demanding consistent correctness from him. They're treating him like a 10+ year vet instead of a 3rd year young player.
