I still have hope for Blake Bortles!

#54

Quote:I think he can and will improve but I don't ever see him as an accurate technician type QB.  I think he'll always be erratic and mistake prone with those wow moments mixed in.  I hope I'm wrong but I don't ever see him reaching that "elite" status.  Mid-tier QB is his ceiling IMO.
 

The Giants have over a decade with Eli and what I saw last night was mid-tier QB that has 2 super bowl rings.  He missed on critical throws and threw some bad picks.  It felt like watching Bortles play.

 

I think we have multiple factors working...

 

1. Too much early success bleeding in an air of confidence that displaced hard work.

2. Receivers that bailed him out and helped over inflate the air of confidence

3. Over coaching on protection and ball control - deflates the "gunslinger" play

4. Awful Game Planning, Practices and overall preparation since the guy came here

5. No valid competition in any of the training camps or offseasons

6. Too many sacks

 

I think there is a strong possibility that he is injured as well.  His deep ball doesn't have the velocity or Arc like it did in 2015.  AR15 isn't bailing you out when the ball is flat and wobbling.
