POLL Blake Bortles: Bust?

[megalodon30]

Hush, Tebowite.

Tebow > Bortles.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Tebow > Bortles.

Tebow wouldn't make a CFL roster.

 

[The Derski]

Yeah, but it's not exactly one throw with Bortles either...

Yeah it's going to be a long season in Jaxville. Not sure Henne can do any better though. Good luck to the receivers and their secret mission to oust Bortles.

Tebow wouldn't make a CFL roster.

Remember when Tebow beat the Chiefs while completing 2 passes? That was a good game.

Yes- I wanted the Pioli era to burn in flames for even pretending like Cassel or Orton were acceptable solutions, to well, anything; or drafting Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson. Was good comedy for me. Even better was beating the Broncos with a single touchdown in week 17.

Then sitting out the playoffs. Ah, good times.

Imagine bragging about an 8-8 season where you get blown out by the Patriots.

Made the playoffs then beat the #1 defense in the league with a QB that "wouldn't make a CFL roster." Yeah, I'm gonna brag about it.

True, but notice the mocking and self-deprecation it takes to do so. Glad to see ya agree, mate

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Back on topic though- do the Jags finish bad enough to get one of the top 4 QB's in the draft? Or are they gonna get stuck with Alex Smith in 2018?

Blake Bortles Still Offers the Promise of Hope but the Reality of a Bust

"He is a really good guy," the scout added. "I've met him and talked to him. I know he tries. He's not lazy. He's just overwhelmed. You can see it on film. He gets confused pretty easily by (defensive) looks that aren't all that complicated. That's why his mechanics are a problem. He gets panicked by defenses and the rush and falls back on bad habits."


ratings in his first 3 years:

69.5
88.2
78.8

69 TD's
51 picks

79.6 career rarting
58.8% completion

11-34 record

Looks like eli's first 3 years.

 

[broncosmitty]

Soooooo not surprised. Not that it would matter as far as the SB goes, but Kaep would be an upgrade there.

Lol.

Iit's pretty funny when you use W-L record as to why a QB sucks.....The Jags are the new Browns.

WTF is DVOA?

WTF is DVOA?

Stealing @soxfan1468927 's explanation

Actually no, it's a stat that is compiled by Football Outsiders that look at every snap of every game, compare results of each play to the league average, and rank players and teams based on how much better above average they are. They look at down and distance, time on the clock, score situation, defense they are playing against (or offense they are playing against), etc. It's a very thorough look.

It's a metric from Footballoutsiders.com attempting to quantify performance in simple terms. It's a good resource. Would encourage fans to look into it.

Tebow wouldn't make a CFL roster.

But, he may make the Mets roster.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

But, he may make the Mets roster.

Haha, god, that'd be hilarious. Would sell the tickets in Las Vegas or wherever he's at right now.

No. He's kind of like an Eli Manning on a very incomplete team.
