Quote:I don't buy into the injury theory as much as some others. His mechanics have been getting better since that week he flew in what's-his-face.


I also agree with Jagwired that the more concerning thing in year 3 is the locking into coverage, not progressing through reads, and not locating open guys. That has nothing to do with mechanics or injury and we've seen very little improvement in that area, if any.


If it was just a matter of he's throwing badly because of an arm injury, I'd feel a lot better about his prospects.

 

After watching Allen Robinson last year, I know Blake Bortles does not need an open guy to complete some of has passes. Throwing to Marqise Lee in coverage is a totally different story. Lee needs to be open if Bortlesv throws to him. Often throwing into coverage is a bad decision but you have to credit the defense sometimes. Nobody can blame the quarterback on many interceptions and incompletions.
