Bortles announced he is coming out but don't expect BOB to take him as Bortles has issues. He needs to grow in terms pocket awareness and route progression, his biggest current weakness is inconsistent accuracy. In UCF's bowl game, Bortles threw several passes that forced his receivers to adjust, missing out on yards after the catch, or missed them entirely. Basically he is way behind BOTH Teddy and Johnny. Originally Posted by BigLouieBortels was chose ahead of Teddy as the offensive player of the year by the coaches in the AAC. He completed over 65% of his passes. He beat Teddy this year with a 20pt comeback. He completed 66% of his passes against Baylor for 300yds with another 98 rushing. Where did you see Bortels was coming out? I must of missed it. I've seen Trddy play in person, he's pretty good. He reminds me of Geno Smith.
Everyone says that Bortles struggles with accuracy and the last thing I want is a QB that struggles with accuracy. To be honest way too many of his throws remind me of Matt Schaub Originally Posted by BigLouieWho's everyone? Different scouts say different things. Bill Polian says none of these QBs coming out are worthy of the 1st pick. I agree with him. There are legitimate concerns with all of them. Are you sure that Bortels has declared for the draft? Bortes completed 65% this year, Teddy 70%. Both are plenty accurate.
Bet you $1,00 he has declared. Every web page I go to has discussion of his accuracy. In very few drafts do you find any position worthy of being #1 this year is no different. If have first pick and you Need QB guess what you are going to take. Originally Posted by BigLouieBortels was 5% les accurate than TB this year. It is what is is. And 65% is plenty good, no matter what the bloggers say. He's bigger and can run the read option offense, something you wouldn't let Teddy do in the Pros. Not because he can't do it, but because he would get injured. I'll give the 5% for the added versatility and size. Kaepernec, Luck, Smith and Dalton ran at least one option play this weekend for good yardage. Cam Newton and Wilson will too. Can you post a link that says Bortels has declared for the draft? I honestly can't find one. Been checking on it.
