    Blake Bortles: Threat Or No Threat?

    in NFL General

    Posted

    Best QB Jacksonville has seen in a while so I will say Semi-Threat himself. I think what will really make him a threat is if his surrounding cast steps up around him.

    Based on?

     

    yes he is a carson palmer level player. So someone who can take his team and compete. Anyone saying otherwise is scared on the thread

    ...

    To the last sentence, haha 

    Maybe I'm not scared, but watched him play last year and saw he was the worst starting QB in the league.

    Blake Bortles: Threat Or No Threat?

    He's as big as Andrew & Ben plus he can throw from the pocket & he's just as mobile as all 3. Is he on their level yet? Of course not. But if you don't see some similarities between Bortles & those 3 then IDK what to tell you. Ben even said it himself last year prior to their game in Jacksonville that Bortles is a younger version of him.

     

    So he's the only rookie QB to have a God awful 1st year? Ever hear of the names Peyton Manning & Troy Aikman? I'm sorry that he couldn't lead the Jags to 11-5 like Andrew did us back in 2012 or 15-1 & an AFCC appearance like Ben did Pittsburgh.

     

    We can agree the Jags are rebuilding, right? That means they're gonna have a young team & they're gonna go through growing pains(just like we did in 1998 & 2012 with our rookie QBs & other teams in general)

     

    Skillset wise yes he's comparable to the guys I mentioned. Obviously right now he's nowhere near their level in terms of how they can routinely take over games & how they have their teams in the hunt for AFC/NFC supremacy annually.

     

    All that was said was that I believe the guy is gonna be good. Is it a guarantee that he will? Of course not, which is why we'll have to see hoe things play out this season & beyond. It's not like I'm putting him 1st ballot HOF & how he'll bring Jacksonville a handful of SBs.

    Peyton didn't have a bad year, he had the most TD passes by a rookie ever. He just threw picks. Bortles was the worst starting QB in the NFl. Big difference.

    Agreed. His skillset rivals Luck, Rodgers, & Roethlisberger.

    oh my god. This "the jags are gonna be sp00ky scary!" Narrative has gone on long enough.

    Here's the thing, Bortles was god awful last year. With and without pressure the guy was bad, so it's not "his team's fault" at least exclusively.

    In the offseason they added an injury prone receiving TE (already out for the first month), a rookie DE who tore his ACL and then was given a fully guaranteed deal (smart, Jags) and otherwise mostly just hoped for development.

    Their coach that everyone loves simply because he's "high energy" has not shown in his two or three years the ability to win games. If he were a great coach you'd at least expect improvement by now, no?

    And the GM hasn't shown anything either, except that he's made the team young. Youth doesn't mean anything if the players are no good, and/or aren't developed/coached well.

    And then people worship Khan, when let's be honest, the only thing an owner needs to do is to pay and stay out of the way. Plenty of owners do that, including our very own Jim Irsay, and yet he is shown in a bad light by the media and consequently fans who are sheep and can't form their own opinions. Way too many people think he is a bad owner, but Khan is amazing because he built swimming pools.

    When the Jags show me a reason to believe they've turned the corner I'll accept it, but I'm not just gonna sit back and comment on how scary the Jags are gonna be with no proof or reason to believe it whatsoever.

    /rantoff Sorry man, this isn't so much just to you (although comparable to three of the best QBs in the league, really?) but to everyone who coddles the Jags for some reason. No hostility intended.

    A league source tells me the Patriots are calling teams, shopping around for a big-bodied receiver.

    Of the four players absent, two were cut, one was placed on PUP, and then there's Wayne. He hasn't played well in preseason. The writing may be on the wall. I'm very conflicted on what I want because I don't want Reg to have such an unceremonious end but it would be nice if he only played as a Colt..

    I know, I know: "It's preseason" but regardless of this game, I am sick of this team investing nothing but late round picks on the OL, and only signing washed up vets or mediocre players and plugging them in. Sign an actual freaking good lineman and address the worst part of the team since Luck was drafted.
