BringBackOrton Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Damn that's cold! @ProFootballTalk From @PFT_Live, @CSimmsQB says Blake Bortles "was not put on earth to throw the football" http://wp.me/p14QSB-amHz @BuckyBrooks Bucky Brooks Retweeted ProFootballTalk Bortles was primarily recruited as a TE prospect by D1 schools... Maybe HS recruiting analysts know more than we think they know.. Dumb comment. Bortles had a decent year two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Bortles might actually throw no passes in a real game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 @TomPelissero As of now, no signs #Jaguars are pursuing outside QB options. Not a foregone conclusion Blake Bortles has lost the job either. Wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 No link, but just read that Bortles is left handed in everything but throwing the football. In baseball he bats left handed, throws/catches left handed. He golfs left handed. He writes left handed. He forced himself to learn to throw the football right handed because his coaches didnt want to play a left handed QB. Yikes indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 I haven't read all of this thread but - this is what Marrone does, this is his playbook to a "t." He sets himself up for leveraged failure where he either (i) fails and has a ready scapegoat ("You gave me Blake Bottles, what do you think I am, a miracle worker?"); or (ii) succeeds against all odds and is anointed a miracle worker. He did this in Buffalo, quickly shredding the confidence of EJ and setting him up to fail, and now he's done it again in Jax, abusing his QB in press conference after press conference. I'm not saying EJ or Bortles are any good - they aren't. But with Marrone at the helm, neither of them ever had a chance, anyway. How many chances do you think a QB should get? This is the NFL not Pop Warner where its "play little Petey so we don't ruin his confidence". Bortles has started for 3 seasons during which he has looked mostly bad and has thrown a ridiculous number of INT's. Bortles has had plenty enough chances, if he ends up failing that is definitely not a valid excuse. I think so too. I think Jags will win between 7 and 10 and the Bills will end up 5-11 to 7-9. Jags are not winning anything close to 7 games with Bortles at QB He has gotten worse with the arrival of Marrackett Is that really possible? The dude has averaged 17 INT's a year in his 3 seasons and is a career sub 59% completion passer. He is incredibly consistent with that too...58.9%, 58.6% and 58.9% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Dumb comment. Bortles had a decent year two years ago. Bortles was the ultimate garbage time king in 2015. He also led the leagues in sacks taken and INTs thrown that year. Edited August 19, 2017 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He comes across as a big Dbag. Though I think he is actually a good football coach. Interested to see how much say he has in Jacksonville. If its his call Henne is Qb week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
