I was with you until the 2nd paragraph.We all knew Bortles couldn't really throw lol. and it was rumored that he wasn't heavy on film like the greats usually are... That being said, I appreciated Bortles.
Trevor's arm is crazy... IMO Doug's Offense aged it's way out of the NFL. Teams would just sit in some type of Cover 2 and dare us to run the ball... and our softass Oline was always exposed.
Trevor's arm isn't crazy at all, everything is floaty and inaccurate. He has poor throwing form and footwork in the pocket and he couldn't execute doug's vision. nikka damn near averaged 4 overthrown balls that should've been TDs a game. Christian kirk should've had a tyreek type year had half of those balls been catchable. That's why we had to resort to running, vs running with purpose, ala eagles and chiefs.
I think that O line play are a product of how well your QB can play, always have. There's a reason why brady didn't have a problem with his O lines, and it's not because the Pats drafted a lineman in the 1st every year..they often were able to make do with midround linemen and free agents. It's a mix of coaching and QB play, Trevor has no feel for the game. He let doug down, not the other way around.
