PACKERS GET THEIR GUY

[molsaniceman]

Packers signed QB Blake Bortles, formerly of the Rams, to a one-year contract.​

Bortles, 29, has familiarity with both coach Matt LaFleur with the Rams and OC Nathaniel Hackett after the two went to the AFC title game together with the Jaguars. This move is solely based on familiarity, as Hackett reportedly "loves" Bortles. For Bortles, he'll get to sling the ball around at in-person workouts next week alongside Jordan Love with Aaron Rodgers keeping his distance from the team in hope of a trade out of town. Love and Bortles would make for a hilariously-bad QB duo if Rodgers is indeed dealt.

The "new look" Packers?????

 

[RaZon]

Bortles has a 59 comp%, his TD/INT ratio sucks, a 80.6 passer rating sucks.

What are they thinking?

I can see why Rodgers wants out he is surrounded by idiots.

He's better than Tim Boyle.

He's better than Tim Boyle.

Do we really know that?

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Why not Jameis? Unless they just want a clipboard holding backup that can help coach up Love?

 

[flyingelvis]

Maybe he's going to play TE?

With a reasonably high amount of confidence. Bortles has random games where he is passable as an NFL starter. Good enough to be a backup QB. Obviously you're fucked if he's starting significant games, but that's kind of everybody with backup QB's.

What has Tim Boyle done in college or preseason to merit thinking Boyle>Bortles?

Why is Boyle in the NFL at all?

His 100M time wowed them at the combine

Bortles > Love > Rodgers

Spoiler

Bortles = 6'5"
Love = 6'4"
Rodgers = 6'2"

The Bortels signing sounds like GB believe Rodgers threats of not playing.

 

[redseat]

Just let Rodgers go for christs sake!

 

[DHoey]

Bortle service is back!!

 

[fastforward]

Not re-signing with the Rams or the Broncos, then not finding a team in the March free agency window suggests there's a big difference of opinion between Bortles and the rest of the NFL in Bortles' ability.

According to @HammerDown Bortles eats Brady’s lunch, for breakfast

Can't all be lucky to have studs like Newton and Stidham
