I was curious to see how many turnovers Blake has actually had in the NFL. 79 in 4 years.

 

I'm not even mad, that's impressive.

 

If you had a drinking game where you have to take a shot with every Blake Bortle's turnover......you'd be Otis from the Andy Griffith Show.

He's dour/anal and will suck the fun out of the game for Bortles.

You forgot 'sullen'.  Aside from that, A+.

 

If it puts a frown on his puss, it's OK in my book.

  If I want to get drunk fast I would pop in a Gomer Pyle, USMC DVD and take a shot every time Sergeant Carter said "Pyle!"  I Wonder why Otis never showed up there when Aunt Bea stopped in for a visit?

Guys really jinxing Bortles first throw of the season.

Yolo, wasn't he also quoted as saying during the same interview that he doesn't want his punter punting any farther out than inside the other teams 40 as he is worried about returns for a TD?

 

Also that he is the inventor of the Hail Mary Running Play?

My favourite Blake Bortles fact.

 

Blake Bortles only averages 0.4 yards more per pass attempt than per rush attempt.

 

 

this is pretty incredible.  i'm sure the bills playoff game has something to do with this.

Glad I drafted fournette 

 

LOL me too.  Picked him up 9th but I think he definitely could be a top 5 player given the circumstances.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Is this any shock? 

 

This is the man that punted on 4th-2, from the Pittsburgh 36 yard line, in the 4th quarter, down by 2 scores so that he could "play the field position" when the team had a 3-6 record. 

 

He is ridiculously conservative and his team will never have a top flight offense with him and Hackett at the helm.

Didn't he say last year that ideally Bortles would never throw the ball?  That is one way to get zero interceptions.

[stuvian]

didn't know they ran the wishbone

[whatdrought]

Jags are going to implode this year.

This is all true. But, man the guy sure loves him some bologna.

You think BB goes out and sits Tom down and tells him it's ok to throw an INT because it means he was trying to make something? And if the QB is going to wilt under a comment like that with pressure then he is not a starting QB in the NFL.

 

 

1) Yes, I do. And it’s shown in the playcalling and flexibility that other QB’s are given to call their own plays on the field. Brady, Roelisberger, Rodgers, etc., Nobody is telling those guys not to take chances for fear of throwing an INT. Nobody wants to throw a pick but nobody is telling those QB’s to reel it in and play conservative. On the other hand, you ever watch a Jags game? Bortles doesn’t get the same leeway to call his own shots. You rarely see deep shots. Marrone, Hackett, and Bortles are on another level of conservative than other NFL coaching staffs (which are usually pretty conservative).

 

2. Bortles is barely a starting NFL QB. The rumors were flying before last season about his short leash. Even though the team was decent, Bortles was mediocre. I would not be shocked to see Bortles go down the path of journeyman soon...

So yer sayin’ Bortles will be yanked Sunday!

[Fadingpain]

Blake Bortles is one hell of a bad QB, but he was still good enough to win his duel with Tyrod in a playoff game.

 

 

[MJS]

Still a baffoon and always will be.

[Rico]

If he wants zero turnovers, he should’ve traded for Tyrod.

[Best Player Available]

Rumor is Bortles bakes horrible turnovers.

Maroon is a huge cheesecake factory guy. 

 

other Marrone news: Yesterday some on - air bobbleheads were picking,

who they thought might be Coach of the year. Yep, Marrone is near the top of the list. lol
