Dak compares to Blake Bortles?

[vaturkey]

Is there some real world similarities to the two of them? Both mobile QB's. Both considered somewhat inaccurate at times and prone to poor decisions. Both considered tough guys for the most part. Jacksonville appears to be looking hard at upgrading the position after handing Bortles the keys for 4 years. Just wondering what other folks think.

There’s some similarities but Dak doesn’t have the pure arm talent Bortles does, IMO.

 

[JDSmith]

I haven't watched a lot of Bortles, but when I've seen him he's been a pretty bad QB. Dak struggled at the end of the year, if he had played like that the entire time I'd be thinking Bortles. But Dak has played for most of his short career at a much higher level than I've seen from Bortles. A lot depends on the team around them, so maybe there is more comparison there than I believe, but Bortles hasn't been on my radar for a Dak comparison to this point.

No

Yeah...I don’t think of arm talent when I think of Bortles. He’s a big kid, has decent velocity but he’s not a Rodgers/Stafford type of passer.

Best QB comparison to Dak IMO Donovan McNabb imo. That's meant as a compliment, considering McNabb accomplished. Similar size, durable, nothing pretty or sexy about their game but they'll you Ws with feet, legs, decent arm and ball security.

The draft can't get here soon enough.

Let’s hope they aren’t saying the same about Dak!!

Exactly, I think Dak is smarter than Blake.........lol

I'd say more to Steve McNair. Haven't seen much of Bortles game.

You haven’t missed much.

He’s been terrible to awful, with a few good games sprinkled in there. Ironically, his best season came when he had a dominant run game, elite defense and about 10 injured receivers lol

I don't think I've watched more than 2 Jag's games in 10 years. Used to watch McNair a bit. Dak reminds me of him in stature, accuracy and ability to run with the ball. McNair was pretty durarable too. Hey, I'd be happy with 31,000 passing yards and 5 trips to the playoffs

I love the old Air McNair Titans! McNair, George, Dyson, Wychek, Mathews, Kearse and one of my favorite corners of all time Samari Rolle!

Yep, McNair had some nice weapons and good teams around him. Successful in Tennessee and Baltimore. He had a nice career.

nope

 

[Staubacher]

Well at least we've went from Dak = Brady/Rodgers to Dak = McNabb/McNair.

What will it be next year?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Bortles? Oh man....NO! Comon' now.

 

[StarOfGlory]

I've seen Bortles play about five games and what stuck out to me is that his decision making leaves a bit to be desired. I'd take Dak all day every day in that comparison.

I can see that. OF course Dak is a lot smarter and a much better person overall.
