Bortles
-
Well, since October.
Ever since I watched him play South Carolina, I've been enthralled.
-
Figured this could use a bump. Thoughts on Bortles in the Fiesta Bowl? In my opinion he looks completely terrible and like a downgrade from Campbell.
-
Waiting for the 2nd half. These guys in bowl games haven't played in a couple weeks, and it takes a few series to get things going... But, so far he has been inaccurate, which is not good...
-
Yeah you bring up a very good point about the time. it scares me though considering Big 12 defenses typically aren't the strongest in the NCAA.
-
Bortles is really showing a lack of vision.
-
looks like david borealis from 'angel' and 'buffy the vampire slayer'.
too bad we play our games during the day.
plus if he's a bust he'll suck the blood out of this franchise for another 5 years.
-
Guy has had a hell of a second half.
-
Don't know what all the hype is about. I haven't seen anything amazing from him. Of course I'm not a pro scout and the only tape I see is highlight videos on Youtube.
-
Reminds me of Jake Locker with a slightly more accurate ball. I think his RB Storm Jobnson helps him create plays and play as well as he does. His speed is his biggest upside but in the nfl everyone is playing fast. I think he's more of a product of his environment then an elite talent capable of performing at a high level in the NFL. . Don't get me wrong he can play in the NFL but is he just another Jake Locker?
-
crossed him off my list.
added cook from mich state to my list.
-
Bortles made some bad decisions and release is a tad slower than I like, but he also showed more speed and better fundamentals than I was expecting. Main thing is I am still not sure how much this whole read option bit distorts a QB's talent.
As for Cook.... ummmm... no...
-
In a late round, if Cook was there, I'd pick him up as a dev backup qb.

I think we're on a crash course for Manziel.
Bortles had a bad first half but a strong second half showing against a team that was supposed to beat UCF by 17 points last night.
He turned a team from nothing into something and beat teams they had no right beating (Baylor, South Carolina, Lousville, Penn State). He's a big bodied player with mobility and elusiveness (yes, they're different). That's why I wanted him, and that's why I still prefer him over Manziel.
I can see the advantages in both quarterbacks. I just can't see Manziel bouncing off a 340 lb man and then throwing a TD on Sundays.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -

And to think people are projecting 195 lb Bridgewater as the #1 pick.

Bortles seems like a dink and dunker all the way. The bulk of his yardage came from screens to Storm Johnson, not from throwing up field. He does look a lot like Big Ben in stature, but doubt he will play like him in the NFL.
Manziel will get broken in the NFL.
