Quote:No doubt bortles has played like a total bum this year and really under achieved.  Serious question marks on the mental aspect of his game.  He lacks basic form that is really hurting his game.  That being said there are some things to love about him.

 

-Horrible Form: This guy makes byron leftwich look like dan marino.  Throws a really ugly ball before and after the ball is released.


-Terrible decision making:  It's almost automatic he is going to turn the ball over at a key point in the game


-Accuracy is bad. He does not make many easy throws.


 

+Tough: You can't really coach this.  He will stay in the pocket and take a hit.  Does use his legs and runs with power.


+Good Arm: The few times he does get a clean release he has thrown some good deep balls


+Athletic: Can move for a big guy


 

Despite Allen  Robinson developing butter fingers and Allen Hurns falling off a cliff he is still on pace to throw for 4,000 and 20+ TD's.  I think competition has to be brought in either through FA or Draft.  Make him earn the starting job next season. He is not consistent.

His mechanics have been slightly better since Hackett took over play calls and had him focus on fundamentals, I think with Bortles he needs to work harder on fundamentals than he does the offense.  Focus for a couple more years on cleaning up his throwing motion and the rest will follow.  I feel like most of his issues are in that department more so than they are him not understanding play calling or reading defenses.  Get him a better line to help with that and get him back on track.
