WHAT THEY’RE SAYING<br />
@JaysonBraddock (8/28/15): This Blake Bortles is not the same<br />
guy I evalu<strong>at</strong>ed pre-draft last year. His growth in 1 year is really<br />
unbelievable.<br />
@SI_PeterKing (8/28/15): You don’t want to overr<strong>at</strong>e the preseason.<br />
But Bortles sees field better w/better touch than last<br />
year. And he loves Hurns.<br />
Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell (8/4/15): “From where he’s <strong>at</strong> now<br />
compared to where he came in last year as a rookie, I think it’s<br />
night and day. From the day he stepped on the practice field<br />
last year to the first day of training camp this year his ease of<br />
throwing motion, the tightness of his ball, the compactness of his<br />
motion, the quicker release, the footwork, the balance -- all those<br />
things I think are better. And just his overall presence. He’s comfotable<br />
now. I’ve got to give him a lot of credit. He took the bull<br />
by the horns and was proactive with it and has done a nice job.”<br />
Jaguars HC Gus Bradley (8/2/15): “His mechanics, his poise,<br />
his big thing is he wants to own the offense so he can play <strong>at</strong> a<br />
higher level without thinking a lot and th<strong>at</strong>’s wh<strong>at</strong> he’s doing. You<br />
can tell he put in time over the summer with the knowledge of<br />
the offense. They have to have no doubt and in order to have no<br />
doubt, you’ve got to put the time in, so to me you’re seeing him<br />
play with no dobut and no fear and th<strong>at</strong>’s a good sign.”<br />
Jaguars OC Greg Olson (6/2/15): “He’s a real hard-worker,<br />
self-starter, a very self-motiv<strong>at</strong>ed player, and he’s got good talent,<br />
so I’m working with a guy th<strong>at</strong>’s a younger player, th<strong>at</strong> wants<br />
to get better and he’s been in early every day and he stays l<strong>at</strong>e.<br />
He’s one of the first guys here in the morning and he’s one of the<br />
last guys to leave.”<br />
OPPONENTS ON BORTLES<br />
Texans DE J.J. W<strong>at</strong>t (12/4/14): “[Bortles] is a strong kid and he<br />
can run — I think th<strong>at</strong>’s one thing th<strong>at</strong> is sometimes overlooked<br />
so you have to make sure you’re aware of your pass-rush lanes and<br />
keep him contained.”<br />
Browns Head Coach Mike Pettine (10/15/14): “We had a lot of<br />
respect for (Blake) Bortles coming out; didn’t know a lot about<br />
him until we had a chance to go and work him out and visit with<br />
him and came away very impressed. It’s not a surprise to us th<strong>at</strong><br />
he’s having the success th<strong>at</strong> he’s having. He can make all the<br />
throws. He can extend plays with his feet. He’s not afraid to tuck<br />
it and run if he has to. Just looking <strong>at</strong> his completion percentage<br />
is impressive.”<br />
Titans DT Jurrell Casey (10/12/14): “(Blake) did a gre<strong>at</strong> job<br />
today. I can’t knock him, he did a heck of a job getting out of the<br />
way of pressure, getting them back into the game <strong>at</strong> the end, he<br />
did a gre<strong>at</strong> job. He’s got a lot of work to do, but I think he’s going<br />
to be a top quarterback one of these days.”<br />
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (10/2/14): “I liked him coming<br />
out. I thought he was the most ready and a guy th<strong>at</strong> I thought<br />
could be the best, just because I think the things he does: He can<br />
extend plays, he can stay in, he can throw the ball, he can throw<br />
on the run. He is an impressive-type young player. He makes some<br />
rookie mistakes but he also makes some plays th<strong>at</strong> you don’t expect<br />
rookies to make in a good way.”<br />
Chargers CB Brandon Flowers (9/28/14): “Bortles is a very<br />
poised quarterback. He made some key throws early. It didn’t take<br />
me by surprise. I used to w<strong>at</strong>ch him in college. I always thought<br />
he was a gre<strong>at</strong> quarterback. He was the top quarterback taken for<br />
a reason. He definitely has all the tools and the sky is the limit<br />
for him.”<br />
