Blake Bortles

Good idea. He is playing tonight against Baylor so we'll have an opportunity to see him in a small sample.

I personally haven't seen him play yet, only highlights.

However, IMO I'd rather take a look at Mallett if we decide not to gamble on Manziel or Bridgewater. Rather than draft Bortles.

 

jacksonville qb gabbert had nfl size, couldnt throw ****

 

Sic em. Hope he looks bad today.. Do not want.

 

What we really need is one thread devoted to QB discussion. There's no need to have a thread devoted to every QB declaring for the draft.

 

Trade down get Bortles. I've seen many of his games and he will be a stud in the NFL if paired with a good QB coach.

Possibly draft Clowney and Bortles 2nd pick

 

Bortles won't make it to the second round. He will likely be a top ten pick.

 

Bortles was 4-5 round pick 3 months ago?

I was never a fan of guys that got hot heading toward the draft. Bortles may have tools but against SC he looked very pedestrian.

 

Average arm strength, lots of his production comes from YAC, does not throw downfield, no thanks.

 

Terrible QB name. Yuck.

 

Bortles will have an 8-10 year NFL career. I can't see him being a franchise QB guy though. He seems like a David Garrard/Andy Dalton/Chad Henne type. Good enough to start on some teams, but probably not going to make the highlight reels.

 

Locker 2.0

 

I said the same exact thing to my brother yesterday. Bortles is a lot closer to a Locker or Gabbert than to a Roethlisberger.

 

Exactly. Bridgewater then Johnny after that no thank you as far as the 1st rd goes.

 

Gabbert 2.0 DO NOT WANT

 

His game looks more like Roethlisberger than Gabbert. Gabbert was a statue.

 

Besides the 5.37 40, this should tell you what you need to know about Mallett:
