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.

The guys coming out of college that look like sick ****ing freak monsters that do ridiculous shit with the football....they all go in the first round. That's where you get a guy like that. That's where you find Blake ****ing Bortles.

Staubach was selected in later rounds because he had to serve two years in the military

I almost wish Dorsey would've pulled a Ditka and traded the whole draft for this guy, he's gonna be a top player no question about it.

I dont know if he has the same fire in his belly as Luck, but this kid is prototype and cool under pressure... if he had sat behind Smith for a year or two we would've unleashed an unholy beast on the NFL.

Him and this UDFA kid Hurd are playing together like Manning and Harrison.

He's "NFL open."

Alex Smith would never attempt that throw.

I thought Bortles had "one-year college wonder" feel about him. Damn, though. He's been very impressive.

I guess Bortles proves that NFL scouts and execs really do know more about football than Chiefsplanet.

Great QBs found after the 1st, can make all the throws, or weren't drafted by the team they became great with? Some of the greatest QBs in the history of the NFL weren't 1st round picks or won with another team.

Tom Brady
Joe Montana
Steve Young
Joe Theismann
Bart Starr
Roger Staubach
Matt Hasselbeck
Rich Gannon
Tony Romo
Curt Warner
Dan Fouts
Fran Tarkenton
Johnny Unitas

Etc, etc

Arguably the greatest QBs in the history of the NFL weren't 1st round draft picks. (Montana, Brady, Starr, Unitas were all drafted in the 3rd or later.)

Does taking one in the 1st round improve your chances? Sure, but it largely depends on the quality of the QBs in that draft class. Just taking one for the sake of drafting a 1st round QB (Bills with EJ Manuel in 2013) in a crappy class will just set you back.

Now if a blue chip QB prospect is available (think Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, etc) by all means, go for it. If they aren't then it's better to wait, draft an elite player at a different position, and take your shot at a QB in the 2nd or later rounds while adding stronger pieces at other positions with your higher picks which will give whatever QB you bring in a better chance and less pressure to succeed.
Dumb.
