Blake Bortles
Blake Bortles.
When watching this guy play football, does anyone else confuse him with a sack of shit flying out of a truck? I don't understand the hype about this guy. If someone does, please, PLEASE explain it to me... Why is this guy projected in some mock drafts to be selected #1 overall? I spent a long time yesterday, watching Blake Bortles clips on youtube and to say the least, I am not impressed. Even in highlight reels, he appears to be the epitome of mediocrity to me. In freaking highlight reels!!! He throws a wobbly pass. His arm doesn't appear to be THAT strong. His receivers are constantly making acrobatic catches due to his lack of accuracy...in fact, most of his highlight reels prompt me to sit there and think to myself, "whoa...who is THAT receiver???" His release is very, very questionable. The talent he faced is "meh." Can someone please explain to me what the big deal about him is, besides his size and Big Ben-esque pocket presence/scrambling ability? I am obviously missing something. Did he have an awesome pro day, combine or Senior Bowl? Did Gruden schlob the hell out of his knob??? WHAT??? WHY?!?!?! Something about him reminds me of Gabbert... I think it'd be hilarious if the Jaguars selected him. Last edited by rico; 04-12-2014 at 12:59 PM.. |

Yes they did... One of them went all 2010 Moeaki vs. 49ers in the endzone.

The throw/catch at 3:08....that was a HELL of a catch...that's the one that reminded me of Moeaki's 2010 endzone catch vs. the 49ers.

He's basically built big and stocky and has a nice arm.

Physically he is the ideal NFL prototype. Whether he can truly play is another question.

I've heard about his big arm a lot and I just...haven't noticed anything that has stuck out when compared to other QB's with big arms. I do notice that he is Big Ben-ish when scrambling under pressure to make plays, but the arm seems questionable to me... And the ball he throws appears to be wobbly quite often.
I read this comment where someone compared him to Andrew Luck. I read that and was like: |

I guess we are at the point in draft season where everyone watches a youtube clip and declares a player they have never seen is garbage
