Can Blake Bortles really be this dumb?

Blake Bortles: 'No one really knows what time zone we're in' after flying to Foxborough from Florida

Uh... same time zone, there, Blake...

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Sounded to me like a deadpan sarcastic answer to about the most stupid question you could expect to hear:

Reporter: "Have you been able to get adjusted to the time clock change?"

 

[brdmaverick]

To be fair when practicing with the Patriots he must feel like he is on a different planet.

 

[SalemPats]

Not as dumb as Colin Kaepernick who opted out of a 14.5M contract

 

[Digit]

I think the entire context sounds like he darned well knows what time zone he's in and is doing his best impression of Bill Belichick.

 

[Froob]

Surprised this didn't become a "GRONK DEMANDS TRADE TO DOLPHINS" headliner with ESPN already breaking down how Gronk fits into the Dolphins offense.

To be fair, the Patriots aren't immune to this sort of mix up concerning time and travel between Florida and New England. Back in 2013, Rob Gronkowski told Toucher & Rich that -- if he could choose a superpower -- he'd want a time machine

Why?

As transcribed by Bleacher Report:

"Like, if I could just be like 'I want to be in Florida right now,' and then, boom, I'm in Florida," Gronk said.
Fortunately, Gronk is not it charge of the Patriots' clock management. Fortunately for Bortles, two-minute drills are not affected by time zones.

Count me as one of the suckers who mainly fell for the writer's trap of 'headline bait'.

I agree, it was 100% a dumb question and not a dumb answer. I'm sure he was just shrugging it off and moving to the next question.

No surprises there from a QB who has more Pick 6's than actual wins and TD's.

Did I not get that? Was I in fact the stupid one? Hopefully not... but if that IS the case...

At least he doesn't think the world is flat, or does he ?

in hard knocks, we learn that jared goff doesn't know that the sun rises in the east. so to answer the original question, "yes".

You have got to be kidding me.......?

Not as dumb as Colin Kaepernick who opted out of a 14.5M contract

Kaep was told that he could opt out, or he could be released; he was never seeing that money. Had he not agreed to renegotiate the contract and trade injury guarantees for the opt-out, he'd have never seen the field and then been released anyway, without playing at all during the season.

 

[Jlaff]

I thought Gronk's comment about wanting a time machine so he could be instantly in Florida was funnier.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Tongue in cheek

 

[TennisBallHead]

Yes.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

Blake Bortles will be Jets 2nd string QB by 2020 so yes!

 

[DarrylS]

Not only is he dumb but sucks as an NFL QB... he does not need to be "smart"...

69/51 TD to Int Ratio
Whopping 79.6 QB Rating after 3 years...
11 wins and 34 losses..

If the Jax pick up his 5th year option next year.. $19 Million dollars.. lot of money for a mediocre QB... if they don't some team will overpay for him..

Nope....

That's mostly for basketball players like Kyrie Irving and Shaq........
