My only guess is Bortles is showing fatigueness at the end of the season. Otherwise I am not sure why he is not throwing deep and he seem to be concerned throwing deep for the past two weeks. Is it just the play calling or is it that Bortles is playing injured. Remember last year he played with Dead arm or some weird injury.

He throws ducks every now and then...  It's not like the critique is unfounded

"Every now and then" means he can throw spirals.

Probably "arm fatigue". Common problem among just Bortles.

What I mean was Blake never tried the deep ball he throws once or twice the game.  The beautiful one against Miami, Indy. The worst part is it was not even attempted. I gotta feeling Blake is playing injured.  None of the throws went outside 30+ yards.

He's not real QB. He was recruited in college to pay tight end.

What I would really like to know is, why can't spirals throw qb's? I mean really? Never have I seen a spiral throw a qb. Have you?
