Malazan Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm not saying I do, I don't know much about him other than a lot of ppl picking on him lately. Is he better than Yates? Yes you do. At least own up to it instead of "pretending" you are just asking the question. "Asking the question" is a common tactic of someone who wants to express an unpopular opinion, but doesn't want to take the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a high draft pick, I'm not sure I see the issue dumping Yates and picking up Bortles. I can't believe he is THAT bad, I suppose that's why I asked. My goodness, some of you have such hostile intentions on these forums. Putting words in ppl's mouths and even thoughts in their heads...

T-Bomb Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Yates looks really bad to me... You started a thread about a worthless QB, of whom you haven't SEEN? TBD continues its decline........ I don't play fantasy football, in fact I hate the whole idea of it, so no, I don't pay much attention to players not on the Bills. I only really see other players on NFL Gameday Highlights. I surmise there is a reason I have not seen Bortles on there a whole lot Edited August 24, 2017 by T-Bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Bortles bad pass % last year was 16.64% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bomb Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Bortles bad pass % last year was 16.64% So, is that a stat these days? Bad decisions or bad throws, mechanically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 So, is that a stat these days? Bad decisions or bad throws, mechanically? All three. Why not research a player before starting a thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Quarterback Bad Pass Percentage measures the percentage of a quartebacks pass attempts that were considered to be poorly thrown (otherwise known as un-catchable) and leads to an incompleted pass." Thats their qualifier for this stat Edited August 24, 2017 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bomb Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 All three. Why not research a player before starting a thread? I am, you guys are my source. "Quarterback Bad Pass Percentage measures the percentage of a quartebacks pass attempts that were considered to be poorly thrown (otherwise known as un-catchable) and leads to an incompleted pass." Thats their qualifier for this stat Interesting, back when I cared about stats the last time the Bills were good, there was no internet (there was but I didn't get "online" until 1996), had to look in the news paper for them, and they were very basic stats.

billsfan60 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Unless you're going to carry three QBs on the 53 this idea makes no sense. And if you do plan to carry three then find a replacement for yates who's better, not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 ..do the Bills pick him up? It's worth a shot, his first two years were solid but OBVIOUSLY Marrone has ruined him. A change of scenery could do him good. If he pans out great if not just keep grinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 ..do the Bills pick him up? Can we stop with these ridiculous threads? The Jags just picked up Bortles's 5th year option. He ain't getting cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5th year option is only guaranteed against injury. Releasing him is an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 ..do the Bills pick him up? Why would any sane person want to add another team's major bust to the Bills? Isn't having their own busts good enough for you that you want to add another one? If there was an All Bust Team, my guess is that Bortles might be the starter with Johnny Manziel his backup.

Punching Bag Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 ..do the Bills pick him up? Can he put on enough effective weight to be a TE or OL man? No hence no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
