    We'll see what Blake runs in the 40 tomorrow or whenever they run. You could be right. But he has on field speed like Cam. Luck ran a good 40 but he doesn't have that on field speed. You said you watched the Baylor game didn't you...???

    Bortles was really really fast. It is weird seeing someone that big, run that fast.

    More like broke because he doesn't have that cannon arm like Cam. But that could be his technique and mechanics. IDK.

    If he had that arm, he would be much higher in my book.

    Cam had a low wonderlic for a QB.

    Remember, BO'B needs a cerebral QB. Need to see where BBorts shakes out there

    Bubble Screen Bortles can run a little bit.

    I predict a 4.7-4.8 40 tomorrow.

    For comparison, Aaron Rogers ran 4.71 and Big Ben ran 4.75 @ the combine.

    He's not brilliant but he's intelligent enough and he has the size but he is no Teddy Bridgewater.

    Honestly his footwork is not even as good as Case Keenum's in college. And that slow delivery. He and his own coach say he is not ready. And I agree.

    Slower than I thought he would run. Can't deny he looks a lot faster on the field though.

    I thought he would run at least in the 4.7's. It's pretty slow not sure if it hurt his stock. I would assume it did some

    If a player works on getting a good jump and their form they can post better 40 times and from the looks of it Blake hasn't been working on his. Don't know if it will drop his stock. Just depends on how much value O'Brien puts in the 40 time.

    But at least Blake has his tape to point to and can say "F my 40 time." Teddy doesn't so Blake's 40 time may not be much of an issue.

    His time was not an issue because he 40 matched what he looke like to me. But I won't deny Bridgewater not running is a red flag to me. I got to wonder who is advising him.
