Dave Dameshek: "From people within the organization, I have been told there is some concern about Blake [Bortles]'s ability to grasp the NFL playbook."

Any thoughts? A)Don't know much about this Dameshek guy he seems like a bit of a joke and B)Not a big shock if true,Bortles isn't really a cerebral kind of QB.

i dont know lol, i dont think theres any way for us to know if this is legit or not

this thread is just gonna be filled with "He threw for 4500 and 35tds so i think he can grasp a playbook!!" anyway

Bortles had a 28 on the wonderlic and Peyton Manning also had a 28 and I think most people agree that he had a decent NFL career.

Really? What did Peyton Manning ever achieve? :teehee:

80% of what I talk about is nonesense.. the other 25% is made up statistics...

I'm calling bullshark. Dameshek is a clown.

imtheblkranger · 07-13-2016, 01:58 PM

I highly doubt that he can't grasp a playbook....

Dameshek is regularly on the "hate Jax" bus.

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

I think it's a fair assessment for any young QB to not fully grasp a playbook.....if you're comparing it to how say Peyton, Rogers, Brees, or Rivers grasps a playbook.

BigJag57 · 07-13-2016, 02:00 PM

I mean what does he like to hold the playbook with an open leisurely grasp when others clench with an iron fist?

**Senor Fantastico** · 07-13-2016, 02:03 PM

If not grasping the playbook nets 35TDs in his first year in a system, I'll take it.

Can't grasp the playbook? I think there's other digs on Blake that can be made, but this one seems odd.

**DragonFury** · 07-13-2016, 02:05 PM

It depends on what "grasping the playbook" means. If he means, knowing the plays and knowing the calls then I think Bortles shouldn't have any trouble. If he means Bortles' ability to adjust to defenses as the play is developing then he might have a point. Most of his INTs came from misreading the defense or playing pre-snap reads.

Can he throw a tight spiral with a playbook?

Coaches have an uncanny ability to grasp a playbook. Let's put them at QB

***FBT*** · 07-13-2016, 02:39 PM

Imagine his stats once he DOES grasp an NFL playbook?

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

RicoTx · 07-13-2016, 02:42 PM

How the hell would that clown have any idea. Lol. And I'm sure 'someone within the organization' is going to say that.

imtheblkranger · 07-13-2016, 03:12 PM

But can he play center?

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

**NYC4jags** · 07-13-2016, 03:16 PM

Flinging poo at walls during deadline. That's all that comment is.

Blake came out young and had a steep learning curve and a half-cocked OC his first year.

He'll display his football IQ this year with one year of Oley's system under his belt.

I'm not concerned. He's got work to do - but by all accounts - he's doing it.

MikePete54 · 07-13-2016, 03:30 PM

Who cares...

Dameshek should be fired, his content is terrible, his show is terrible, and he has no clue what he's talking about half the time.

badger · 07-13-2016, 04:26 PM

what's funny is a guy like Blaine Gabbert probably would ace the playbook test.

any time somebody says "people within the organization" you can be sure it's completely false
