RN - I respect that you're willing to die on this hill, but there's no way to sugarcoat it: Bortles looks god-awful tonight.

Yep. Sorry RN.

Looked pretty good IMO. No line, no RBs, no WRs, still won the game going away. Get his bust ready for Canton!

[Raider Nation]

Let me listen to a bunch of message board goons over a Super Bowl-winning QB.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

P. Simms - Al Davis wanted to hire me as HC

 

[Raider Nation]

And the Titans being completely horrible kept Bortles' stat line down. He did what he had to do.

I haven't heard Phil Simms be that effusive in his praise of a struggling young QB since ... ummm ... Josh Freeman.

 

[Raider Nation]

Haters. You'll all feel silly when this guy looks like Dan Marino when he's not playing with 10 other rookies.

No matter how this guy turns out, this has been my 2nd-favorite thread of the year.

Nothing can top the shenanigans in the Cutler thread.

Coming up on NFLN... Blake Bortles live on the set!

Thanks RaiderNation for not jinxing Carr.

He'll be a forgotten man before he's someone you can count on weekly for FF like Wilson/Ryan.

This is going to get bumped weekly until the end of time.

This is the part where you hang yourself.

Bortles looks really bad. Poor pocket awareness. Not very accurate. Mechanics are bad. Doesn't read the field.

The question is how long do they stay with him since he was such a high pick? All next year too?

This article disagrees with you

From your article.

The 21-13 home win on Thursday Night Football over the Tennessee Titans was his best performance to date.

13-26 115 yards 4.42 YPA 1 TD 0 INT is his best game? He is QB41 out of 41 QB on PFF.

The Jags spent a high pick on him so I guess they are kind of forced to stick with him after this year. Sucks for the Jags. If he continues to play this poorly how long into next year do they stick with him?

He was 32/46 for 336 yards against Tennessee in their first meeting.

I'm trying to think of a QB that played this poorly for an extended period of time and turned it around the next year. I'm not coming up with one but I'm sure there are some that have so maybe he turns it around next year.

 

[Milkman]

So we can disregard the article he quoted? They called this his best game. He was atrocious last night.

Yeah I thought of him but he flashed he could read a defense and actually throw a football properly. Plus Bortles is getting worse. His last 5 games are really bad mang.

 

[jurb26]

Bortles has been getting worse as the season goes on it seems. He was downright terrible last night. Just missing easy throws, bailing on his pocket and mechanics deteriorating. I'm guessing a lot of this is due to the Oline in front of him being poor. Then again, that's exactly why I never thought he should have taken over for Henne as early as he did. Hopefully this doesn't shell shock him for future growth. I really liked what I saw from him early on and think he has franchise QB potential.

 

[Raider Nation]

People must keep in mind the hideous and/or young supporting cast he has. It will get better. It HAS to!

 

[Milkman]

I need to see a game or a half where I can go ok if he learns how to do that consistently he'll be good. Manning had that a couple times in his rookie year. Even if his rookie year in it's entirety wasn't that great.

Manning had Marshall Faulk and Marvin Harrison in his rookie season. Which Hall of Famers does Bortles have at his disposal?

Yeah but they aren't screwing his footwork up or locating the ball on the inside shoulder when it should be located on the outside shoulder. A better OL may help but I'm not sure I've seen a worse QB performance than last night all season. It was that bad.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Easily worst QB performance I've ever seen is Josh Freeman's game against the Giants in a Vikings uniform. That was the Vince Carter Slam Dunk "it's ovah" terribad performance of all time. No comparison.

 

[Milkman]

lol took you awhile to find one huh?

 

[Raider Nation]

We'll go ahead and forget the 50 yards rushing. Twenty of which sealed the game.

That doesn't count.

It probably helps to have a Marvin Harrison. I think Bortles will be fine. Not everyone can be drafted into a situation like Russell Wilson.

He's one of the worse best QBs to come into the league lately... along with Luck and Tannehill ect.. He's going to increase the value of his young WRs(I'm a Shorts and Robinson fan, especially with Bortles). At worst he's a top 3 QB going forward. I see and unbelievable upside here.
