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.

Because the state of Florida has a history of turning out great NFL QBs.

Or... maybe it's the opposite of that. Yeah, actually, I think it's the opposite.

I read this comment where someone compared him to Andrew Luck. I read that and was like:
To your point, because of Big Ben and Flacco the media will always look for any kind of QB drama whether legit or created. 'They love that power to lead the general uneducated sports eye by the nose'. And the GMs/Coaches love that they(sports media) LOVE that power to lead because it means they(GMs/Coaches) can play better NFL POKER this time of year

Who really knows what these GMs/Coaches 'really think'.

Everybody knows everybody in this league and they play NFL Poker all year long and especially this time of year. Because they all know each other they all know each other's main football fundamental philosophies when it comes to strategy,players,FAs,trading and especially 'The Draft'. And 'Wannabe Professional Athletes' Who Never Were Athletes' Complicit Sports Media immensely help in playing NFL Poker this time of year.

I see a lot to like. He stays in the pocket so the OL junkies will be big fans.

Typically, good QBs who operate well in the pocket tend to make their line look better, not the other way.

he has the NFL body and teams love that shit. He's not fast but his size keeps him standing, he has a chance to shed pass rushers in the NFL i.e. a poor man's Big Ben. But that is usually the difference in converting a play when the rushers shed off you with poor tackling.

So yea like someone said this dude is an Oline junkies dream QB.

I don't think that Bortles is anything special. But then again, I don't think that any of the available QBs are better football players than the top 10 players in this draft. They're always going to be overvalued because they are typically the most easily recognizable "stars" of the NFL.
