Bortles is a very raw QB who won't become NFL all-pro polished for several years. It's not like 12 weeks in the offseason is enough to change a lifetime of throwing a certain way.


My expectations are still low for 2015 however I think he'll be above average in 2016. Which to me is saying a lot since average QBS in the modern nfl put up gaudy numbers.

Nothing wrong with keeping expectations low...

I don't think Bortles is an all-world beater in year 2.


But I would hope that we didn't select a guy #3 overall who still needed another year to get it working. He was supposed to sit and learn last year, he was thrown into the fire to learn. The entire offseason he was working on mechanics, TC was for implementation of the new OC gameplan.

 

His 2nd year should be leaps and bounds better than year 1 (especially if the WRs catch more than they drop and the Oline blocks more than they don't)

 

Looking at Tannehill's rookie season and Bortles, very similar (Tannehill arguably had a better team overall, but was also only a 2 yr QB at A&M)

I'd rather Bortles post 4k 27/12 65% comp. Because I think that's where he needs to be. (Tannys 3rd year stats)

but I won't hang him out to dry if he posts a more modest 3900 24/17 60%....

I'd be ecstatic really.

 

But I think he could (should) make a big jump. Tossing the rock to Arob and JT. With 3 different types of threats from the backfield, Drob, Yeldon, and Gerhart.

I think we both agree, just differ on what we consider a 'big jump'. 

 

GO JAGUARS!

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Winning will change that perception.

I'm thinking 


25tds 14Int 62% 4000 yards about 300 rushing.

 

Pretty close to on point

*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17
2016 draft players I think will be good

• On the Fournette train, will be best back of his class 3/6/17
  
• Lattimore please,  Lockdowns on both sides would be nice
