The All-22 Coaches Film of Bortles from this season shows he's made tremendous growth in several key areas. He is not only playing with more confidence after logging significant snaps as a rookie, but he is far more decisive as a playmaker from the pocket. As a result, the ball is coming out quicker and he is avoiding some of the silly mistakes that plagued his first pro season. In addition, Bortles has been more consistent with his footwork and fundamentals from the pocket, exhibiting a better "base" (keeping his feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart) when delivering throws to all ranges. When Bortles plays with disciplined footwork and mechanics, he can make any throw in the book with zip, velocity and pinpoint placement.
