Re: Blake Bortles Wants Out

I am very disappointed in Bortles, he should have manned up and competed for the primary backup job. I don't recall anyone ever saying the job was being handed to Dalton?

Can he play safety? 🤔

Maybe if he quits crying like a baby, he wins the backup job versus Dalton, and helps the Saints with that now-come-to-light pesky third round pick !

The Saints said that very thing when they agreed to release him.

Re: Blake Bortles Wants Out

I don't know much about Bortles sounds like when the competition got a little more difficult in the QB room, he wanted out. Where is the fire?

Not what I'd expect from a former 1st rounder but oh well. Guess there is a reason why he is on team #6.

Good luck to you sir.

Best of luck to Bortles and there are enough spots he could catch on as QB2/3 elsewhere. We just saw Dalton as a better option - and with good reason.

Re: Blake Bortles Wants Out

It says a lot about him when you don't even have the chest to compete for a backup spot. He wants it handed to him. He should retire.

A Journeyman QB, off to a journey elsewhere. In my opinion Dalton is a strong back-up QB for the Saints.
Just hoping Jameis stays healthy and Dalton stays holding the clipboard.

Re: Blake Bortles Wants Out

Bortles would have been a bargain as a reserve QB; but to be fair, if they were guaranteeing more money to Dalton, there was never going to be a fair QB competition...

To say otherwise, you're BS'ing yourself...
