Quote:He needs to hit something like 10000 reps for muscle memory so he needs to throw a lot everyday.

Actually.

The number of reps required to accomplish what we refer to as " muscle memory " varies greatly from one individual to the next.

" muscle memory " actually begins immediately when a motion is repeated.

There are several factors that effect ones " muscle memory " other than the repetition of motion.

And just as the amount of repetitions needed to create muscle memory varies from one individual to the next extenuating circumstances that affect muscle memory also vary from one individual to the next.

What were looking for is Blakes ability to improve his overall mechanical throwing motion and everything associated with it.

I.E. his pre motion thought process, his foot placement, his desired velocity ( pre release )...

Ect...ect...ecr ..

Even with as much training as he can physically accomplish in the off season there are circumstances that occur during the regular season that can not be practiced.

I.e. Injury, physical and mental fatigue, nutritional variants, inclement weather, ball pressure inconsistencies, barometric pressure, and the ultimate wild card...a live pass rush.

So all of that being said....

Blake does NOT have a great chance to consistently throw well through an entire season.ever.

However. ...

I can tell you this...first hand...

Blake is not here partying, he's not here because he has to be here, he is here because he KNOWS he's not a natural thrower of a football and because he WANTS TO WIN SUPER BOWLS AS A JAGUAR AND he believes next year he has a good of a chance as any starting qb to win it all.

He believes.

Re; Bortles looking better...

I've seen him throw quite a bit and even though he has thrown some nice sprials, and he can make the ball whistle as it cuts through the air......

I think it's critical that he has some sustained success next year.

And if he doesn't he's done as a qb...

That's IMHO
