Blake Bortles

Steelers Rumors: Should Pittsburgh be interested in the former top-five draft pick?
It won’t be long before the 2020 season kicks off and teams are still currently attempting to make sure they feel fine with the guys on their roster. Despite the regular season being so close to starting, there are still plenty of talented players left in free agency who could help a number of teams this year.

Bortles is one of these remaining free agents and Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox recently suggested that the Steelers should consider signing the former Jaguars first-round pick.

Knox mentioned Pittsburgh’s currently unimpressive backup situation behind Roethlisberger and he said that Bortles would be, “an ideal fit,” for the guys in black and gold.

if the Steelers would pick up Blake maybe new QB Coach could coach him back up.

No one could up to this point in his 7 years.

Hard pass.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Hell no.

The problem with Bortles isn't his talent, it's his lack of preparation. He doesn't care about winning and I don't want that type of players on our team.

bortles has only looked good in one of the years he has played in the NFL....last year when he held a clipboard instead of a football....

he has no more of a ceiling than rudolf or lynch. actually less...he has had more starting time to show how bad he can be.

This. I'm not a fan of Bortles, he has had plenty of starting experience and doesn't have a lot to show for it. If he had been better, the Jaguars probably could've been a Super Bowl team a few years ago when they had that stellar defense. Reminded me a lot of our team last year. Stellar defense, and a horrible offense quarterbacked by guy who had no consistency whatsoever. Sound familiar?
