Jags Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 People can say whatever they want to say about Bortles, but I don't think that NFL players get any tougher than he is. The constant criticism and always playing through injury? The guy is as tough as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about the injury stuff but watching him run you know he doesn't care if he gets hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury was in his right wrist, serving as part of his throwing hand. Bortles is expected to make a full recovery, Rapoport added. ESPN first reported the news.

Tugboat Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 It's cool that Bortles is tough and gritty i guess, and i don't think there's ever been a lot of question about whether he's a likeable dude who gives a commendable effort. But if we're gonna crucify Fournette/Caldwell for the former's injury problems and being banged up/unreliable...i'd think the same has to apply to Bortles too right? Biggest difference being...Fournette is actually an absolute beast when healthy, and Bortles still seems to mostly not be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 25 Quarterbacks in NFL history have had longer streaks. And only 4 active streaks are longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
