I dont care if Bortles has better physical tools and therefore more upside, because if you arent accurate with your ball placement, then you arent going to be successful in the NFL. Its a mandatory requirement and Bortles doesnt have it. Sometimes it really is that simple. You are the biggest 49er Homer on this forum. I don't disagree though Mullens is legit underrated QB but still kind of funny though loll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree though Mullens is legit underrated QB but still kind of funny though loll I may be a homer, but my opinion of the 49ers has nothing to do with my opinion of bortles lol Just seemed like a good comparison to make considering they are in the division I wasn't super high on Mullens at first but I did warm up to him as he kept playing. He doesn't have a strong arm but he is accurate and runs the offense. He goes through his reads well. He has a good feel for the game. Being a backup is different than being a starter, it's a different mindset needed. I don't think Blake has that mindset, while Mullens wouldn't be in the NFL at all if he didn't have that mindset. Also thank you for the compliment! I love my niners lol give it time, everyone will know Shanahan >> McVay hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahUtesFan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm not the biggest Bortles fan but he's a decent backup option if Goof gets hurt. Funnily enough Bortles did a good job of picking apart the Patriots defense twice now while Goof scored 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what he has anything to do with Bortles or the Rams. Love this signing, mainly because I won't have to worry about Sean Mannion ever getting meaningful playing time.

FrantikRam Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Love this move and hoped it would happen. Dude has won two playoff games and played well enough to win a third - and now is coming to a team with better offensive talent in every way imaginable.

When things are good around Bortles, he's a significantly better QB than Mullens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McVay got exposed as too young to be a good NFL coach. Bortles is there to be a hair transplant donor for McVay so he can look more like a balding football guy, and Bortles gets a new head of hair out of the deal.

Career points scored in a Super Bowl: Blake Bortles - 0 Jared Goff - 3 Or what about Bortles as a weapon out of the backfield? Career receiving yards in a Super Bowl: Blake Bortles - 0 Todd Gurley - -1 Goff and Bortles are also tied in playoff wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you have 2 QBs, you don't have one, so the Rams have no QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Bortles in the playoffs: 2-1, 57.6%, 3 TD, 0 INT, 7.0 Y/A, 91.0 passer rating Goff in the playoffs: 2-2, 55%, 2 TD, 2 INT, 6.4 Y/A, 73.6 passer rating No wonder Rams fans are so excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragevsuall17 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If he signs for more than vet min, both him and Rams are idiots. He's getting 6.5M in salary this year... just depends how much comes from the Jags and how much comes from the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
