Time to face facts: This QB is a bust
Blake Bortles Still Offers the Promise of Hope but the Reality of a Bust
The question from an NFC scout was a simple one.
"Why don't you guys write more that Blake Bortles is a bust?"
The query came from an honest place and was asked without malice. The scout and some others across the NFL believe Bortles is benefiting from a form of NFL and media protectionism. That for a variety of reasons Bortles isn't labeled a bust when he should be.
Thinking...
Damn, the scout is right.
"He is a really good guy," the scout added. "I've met him and talked to him. I know he tries. He's not lazy. He's just overwhelmed. You can see it on film. He gets confused pretty easily by (defensive) looks that aren't all that complicated. That's why his mechanics are a problem. He gets panicked by defenses and the rush and falls back on bad habits."
