Blake Bortles - Official Thread (2 Viewers)

[Smack Tripper]

Thinking about cutting tannehill for bortles. Miami seems like team turmoil. I have Wilson too. I'm already playing bortles over stafford in another league

 

[bud29]

I was definitely one who thought the Jags should've taken Mack at 1.03, and while that would've been a solid pick too, Bortles is looking good so far this season. Rooting for him, it'd be nice to see JAX finally turn things around.

Yes, his fantasy numbers are good this season, but...

,,,can he continue to be a starting QB in the NFL with his scary bad completion percentage?

1.5% lower than Luck.

Yes, but Luck has shown that he is capable of much, much better.

Bortles has not.

Bortles has not.

Compare their second seasons:

Luck: 60.2%, 23 TD, 9 INT, 377 yards rushing

Bortles (pro-rated): 54.5%, 24 TD, 12 INT, 364 yards rushing

Thank you.

I'm kinda hoping some here will convince me to keep him. lol.

He just seems to miss his receivers by a mile way too often.

I'm not saying he's in Luck's neighborhood, but it's simply too early to tell.

Not sure if the stats mean anything, but Luck was as pro ready as they come out of college and Bortles was a project. He's not there yet but showing some promise which is encourgaging.

 

[Raider Nation]

Does that obtuse "Bucks" guy still come around?

Qb1

 

[Doctor Detroit]

He's terrible. Sad no one can see it. We'll get to it later. I don't feel like it now.

#2 fantasy Qb4 Passing TDs

303 Yards passing

21 yards rushing

1 INT

 

[Bri]

Denard Robinson will help too when he returns

Greene looked good before he got hurt.

This might be quite the offense in 2016.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

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.

Wow, wat?

He NFL blows. If Jac is just going to rack up yards vs prevent defense then I'm not fighting it. If this is a league where he and McCown outperform my 1st round picks of Rodger/Luck then I'm the idiot. Definitely sell

This is a fantasy football board, Corky. Just try admitting you were wrong and we can move on like adults.

Grade 1 is the least severe, so yes, it's minor.

From NFL.com:

Bortles' status will be updated throughout the week. Coach Gus Bradley said he doesn't expect the injury to be too serious, but cautioned not to be alarmed if the quarterback doesn't practice on Wednesday.

As for the rest of the week's practices, Bradley said, "right now, I think he'll be in good shape."

From sportsinjuryclinic.net:

Grade 1 is a simple sprain to the AC joint with minor damage to the ligament and no separation of bones.Immediate first aid for any AC joint injury is rest and apply ice orcold therapy. Immobilize the shoulder in a sling to ease pain by taking the weight of the arm...A doctor may prescribe Anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofenmedication to reduce pain and inflammation and advise on AC joint sepration exercises.

Guess you don't know this guy. Admitting he's wrong just isn't an option in his mind.

Bortles has been a pleasant surprise this year though. Still sitting on some waivers and is QB7 right now in my league.

Yup, I just picked him up off waivers after trading away Eli in a package deal. Pleasantly surprised by both he and Dalton.

 

[Quasimoto]

Available in my 10 team league. Gonna try to drop Stafford for him.

Read a Florida Times Union piece which quoted an orthopedic surgeon saying he'll be tender but should be able to recover quickly from this. Depends on how he responds to treatment but he should play this weekend.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

starting over peyton manning, what freaking planet am I on???

 

[shadyridr]

Probably starting him over Drew Brees. Bottom line is he has a lot more weapons than most QBs and hasnt been as mistake prone.

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

starting over peyton manning

Probably starting him over Drew Brees.

I'll take "Phrases You Never Expected to Read About Blake Bortles" for $1000, Alex.

Glad to see you could join us. Pick 6 to seal it. That was quick. I will admit I was wrong about him piling up numbers vs prevent defenses every week when the Jags are down 20 like he just may do now. We'll see how long that last though.

 

[shadyridr]

Hes looking like a low end qb1 this year for fantasy

 

[Tango]

Points are points.

...but in dynasty I'd take Winston over Bortles. In a re-draft for '15, it's closer but I'd probably do the same.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Bortles simply getting it done from a fantasy perspective -- 7th QB in my league's point system going into this week, and with likely be ranked even higher coming out of it.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Bortles is more mobile and probably a better raw talent. I'd take Bortles.

Both are inaccurate.

Both have good receivers.

Bortles can run. Winston cannot.

Bortles can read, write, and speak English. Winston cannot.

I'll take Bortles.

 

[MaxThreshold]

Drafted Bortles as my 2015 sleeper in the 13th round. So far...so good.

 

[LionOfGosforth]

Gonna be starting him over Matt Ryan pretty soon I think.

 

[Milkman]

Bortles is playing well today. Lololol

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I own Hurns I was trying everything I could. Thx

Few have noticed, but Blake Bortles is much better

 

[Jack White]

Acquired him in a trade this week. Starting him over FitzMagic this week because of the risk Fitz gets hit on his left hand and he has to leave the game again.

He gets BAL in Week 10 and his playoff schedule looks juicy right now.

Finally, JAC allows 30 points per game, which tends to dictate a lot of pass attempts.

 

[Sabertooth]

I traded for him just because of his playoff schedule. Also renamed my team to Bortle Kombat. But I'm toying with Bortal Kombat as a spelling. What do you think?

Sound logic. My only problem is that the Jets are so banged up right now that I'm not sure they are capable of putting up a lot of points, so I'm not sure Jax will be forced into the air as much. Trying to decide if I want to start Hurns this week.
