Quote:I don't know if it's because of the pre-snap reads or what, but it seemed like a lot of them were flat out stupid decisions. It's one thing to have a throw veer off a tad and get intercepted or to mis-judge the placement and have a pass cut off, but he'll make throws into heavy coverage that he has no business throwing. Maybe Brees can throw there, but not Bortles. If he just plays smarter he should cut his INTS in half.


 
I also agree that correcting his mechanics takes away at least a couple fumbles. Another thing that might help with the fumbles is to stay in the pocket more. I understand that his stats actually improve when he's making plays outside the pocket, however, I've noticed that when he's outside the pocket he loses his feel for the blindside rush and can be taken by surprise if somebody sneaks out behind him.
