Look at that beautiful throwing motion.

He has a worse throwing motion than Tebow and Leftwich put together. 

Why in the world is he holding the ball upside down with his arm in a horizontal position? 

That’s crazy. He throws the ball like Lonzo shoots a 3.

What’s weird is when he rolls out to his right, he throws a great spiral and has perfect form.
I was being sarcastic when you see that standstill picture of him throwing  on the usatoday website.  I

Biggest question will always be..... if/when they have to put him in......which will show up?
Good Blake or Bad Blake?

And Bad Blake is "hitting your lineman on the helmet" bad.

Bortles looking calm, poised, and accurate in the Rams offense.

I will bet you 2 cases of Mountain Dew that he won’t be a starter ever again.

Because he's had all off season to relearn fundamentals again. If he were starting in LA, by the third game he would relapse to his old sloppy self again. He's the perfect backup QB because he can use all that down time to stay polished on basics.

Maybe. Or maybe he's getting good help from the Rams staff in technique and scheme. Or maybe it was just a Good Blake appearance. The Jags never should've started him so soon imo, he needed the bench time that first year.

Looking at the box for the Rams last night it is interesting that all 3 of their QBs spent time in Jacksonville.

I used to think the same thing, and still do, but as time progressed I could see that he is fundamentally flawed. His physical tools are good, but between the ears he simply doesn't have the mental fortitude to maintain a high level of play. He allows bad habits, and frequently a defeatist mindset (thus the Good Blake Bad Blake phenomena) to set in.
