In all seriousness, I'm not mad at BB. Its a road game against the Super Bowl champs and a HC who is known for confusing young QB's. On top of that, he is playing from behind and pressing.

 

This week is a wash in my opinion and isn't even worth monitoring his development.

 

Next week is a different story.

Unfortunately, he was pressing since his first pass. Well, before the jags fell behind.

Not a pass, just a bad week to evaluate progress IMO. Not apologizing for the guy, but not ready to cut him.

^the same Tyrod Taylor that put up 4 TDs (admittedly 3 int) on the pats in his second career start.


Stop making excuses for Bortles and accept him for who he is.

Don't worry, the Gators came back from 20-7 last night. Anything can happen

If he's behind Tyrod Taylor in his development at this point in his career, that is a huge concern

Seriously, from what I saw today, he can throw a bowling ball better than a football.

Taylor did most of his damage in garbage time. Most concerning with Blake is his mechanics, although improved, still aren't great or consistent enough and it hurts his accuracy. He can still improve, but it doesn't look like we have a natural, elite top 5 QB on our hands. If he keeps improving he can eventually be a decent starter, in the Stafford or even Rivers category. Blake does have a few good traits and alot of potential.

I saw him there also, there was one frame where the ball skipped into the other lane and knocked over 6 of the other guys pins....he needs to work on his mechanics.

He does remind me a bit of Stafford, just without the talented WR's...

meh, 3rd game under another brand new offensive coordinator

 

I think bortles is the least of this teams problems, he throws some head scratchers but makes up for it with some beauties as well

 

can't really expect a whole lot more from a 2nd year guy, under a 1st year o coordinator with the type of coaching we have at the top combined with injuries

His best chance is indeed to channel his inner Don Carter. He sure ain't making it on the football field.
