    Not impressed so far. It's not the interceptions as much as they seem to be using him like Tebow. Is this their typical offense?

    Started watching the game to see Bortles... 2 interceptions and one decent run. I haven't seen anything that compares to Bridge or Johnny.

    I'm kind of disappointed in both quarterbacks.

    He's okay...definitely not top 10 talent at all though. Not sure where this hype train is coming from, but it's completely unnecessary.

    Bridgewater at #1...or trade down to #4 and be sure Manziel is there, otherwise stick to Teddy with the first pick.

    Bortles should be a 3-4th rounder.

    Im kool with drafting Bortles if the Texans are trading way down in the first and stock piling picks and drafting him in the 2nd round.

    Bortles has been getting hype recently because ESPN was trying to trick as many people as possible into watching their BCS game.

    Poor tackling by Baylor turns a screen into 6.

    Might as well have pitched that. No skill set to make that pass.

    My goodness. That Td run was like Rosencopter lite by Petty. Where would he go in next year's draft?

    Bortles' can't seem to throw anything longer than 15 yards with accuracy.

    He can't seem to throw anything less than 15 yards, other than bubble screens, without completely drilling it.

    I'm not really digging it.

    Another long TD pass that barely went past the LOS.

    Probably rather have Tahj Boyd than Bortles.
