Arm strength is overrated in the evaluation process, but elite quarterbacks in the NFL are capable of working the entire field from the pocket. From the deep comeback on the sideline from the opposite hash to the "hole shot" delivered down the boundary against Cover 2, quarterbacks must be able to throw the fastball (zip and velocity) or change-up (touch or finesse throws) based on the reaction of the defense. Bortles certainly shows the ability to make those throws on tape. Although he plays in an offense that features a lot of bubble screen and quick passes, Bortles shines when given the chance to push the ball down the field on traditional pro throws like curls, comebacks and "Bang-8's" (skinny posts). He routinely puts the ball on the receiver's proper shoulder and his superb ball placement results in completions despite tight coverage. Of course, Bortles missed a handful of receivers on the aforementioned routes during my film study, but his errant tosses were the result of shoddy footwork and lower-body involvement. If he can refine his mechanics and technique, he should be able to make consistent throws at the next level without a problem.
