Blake Bortles received a lot of favorable comparisons during a positively wretched year statistically. While we are all overlooking the statistics and hoping he continues to live up to the Ben Roethlisberger comparison, Julius Thomas is busy comparing him to the greatest player in the history of the position: Peyton Manning.
Thomas knows a thing or two about Peyton Manning, having been a stud tight end for the future Hall of Famer for the past couple years. If he’s saying Blake Bortles is going to be like Peyton Manning, then who are we to question his up close assessment?
