Bortles 2015

#61

Blake GODles will be unstoppable this year. I would not expect less than a Super Bowl MVP from him, although being so modest, he will give the trophy to the rest of the team.

I don't think Big Ben is the right comparison. I think hes somewhere in between Ryan Tannehill and Andrew Luck in terms of style of play. Hes much more athletic and mobile than Big Ben.

Quote:With a new Oline, RB, TE, and throwing motion, Bortles should improve drastically as well as the team. Looking at his stats from last year

 

2014: 280- 475- 58.9%- 2908- 11tds- 17int and 56 att- 419 yrds rushing.

 

It was pretty bad, horrible. However with the new pieces, new offense, nd new mechanics a big jump could happen. For next year a reasonable would be:

 

2015: 330- 530- 62.2%- 3600 yards- 18 tds- 13 ints and 50 att- 400 yrds rushing

 

This would probably win us 5 or 6 games and with an actual NFL rb we may be able to squeak out some more.

 

What do you guys think? Is it enough?
 

I disagree.  Bortles will have 20+ TD's this year to 10 INTs.  Lee/Robinson/Thomas make this not even debatable.

Very debatable.  I'd take any fool's money that think Blake will have 10 or less interceptions this year while playing a full season.  In 2014 only 8 QBs attempted over 400 passes and threw 10 or less interceptions last year.

I could care less whether Blake throws 10 INTs or fewer. If he takes chances downfield, which I hope for, then I interceptions are inevitable.


I just want his decision making and number of touchdowns to improve.

I have to agree. Bortles is still young and he's likely to throw more than 10 INTs if the team wants to actually develop him as a passer. It's not that he couldn't come alive with the team around him being better, but less than 10 INTs probably also means less than 20 TDs.

I agree a lot of improvement pieces in place but 1st year together because of new offense. I think it will really start to come together in second half of year but not sure will translate to wins. Next year I believe is when significant improvement will be seen...maybe playlets.

I'd be fairly surprised if Bortles doesn't throw at least 20 touchdowns this year.

Plays golf left handed?

I think this may need to be moved but I didn't know where.
