Dion Jordan was one of those guys Brett Kollmann over on BRB was near-literally orgasming over because his athletic ability made him so good in coverage.

He's fantastic at pass disruption as well. Swatting arms, getting in proper passing lanes... Baltimore and buffalo games he had plays that directly led to turnovers, one of which should have been the play of the game (hit flaccos arm, pass went 10 yards short of it's target, pick six by jones)

I would love to see Aldon smith type use from him. But in the 4-3 if it makes sense

I'll openly admit that I should evaluate Bortles from a neutral perspective, but he has such a terrible football name. It's Blaine Gabbert-levels of bad.

Haha you have to go to the third GIS result for "Blake Bortles" to even find him in the picture. To find a picture of him without her in it, you have to go to the 7th

e: Like 90% of the images from GIS for Blake Bortles is his gf in pictures without him

We've talked about weird Google trends before, and "[athlete's name] girlfriend" is without fail one of the auto-suggestions for everybody at the pro level and almost everybody in college.

Edit: But yeah doing a GIS for Bortles is hilarious.

I'm mad that I've been consistently mentioning how hot Bortles' girlfriend is and it's only now getting attention.

Also Blake Bortles is a fantastic football name, as are all alliteration names.

It's pretty objectively terrible for a QB; he'd make a great lineman, though.

Combining these because once he starts skipping balls into the dirt, Bortle'd will be the superior version of McNabb'd

So among active QBs, what's the highest intersection of most skilled with worst QB name? Ben Roethlisberger?

Most underwhelming QB names:

Matt Ryan, Tony Romo, Alex Smith, Russell Wilson, Chad Henne, Geno Smith, Nick Foles, Matt Schaub, EJ Manuel, Brandon Weeden.

Of that list, I'd put Romo and Ryan at the top. Roethlisberger is a supreme last name for a QB.

Edit: A good QB last name needs to have a hard K or C sound, be incredibly long, or have the last name also be a word. Like Warren Moon or Andrew Luck. In addition, a good QB last name should also look like it could be ran through a golf club's vetting process without gaining red flags.

We seem to have different standards. To you, bad QB names are the names that are boring, to me they're the names that don't fit the position. Roethlisberger sounds like a lineman name to me :shobon:

Looking at your list, Tom Brady looks like he would belong, and Drew Brees maybe

e: Ah I see you edited in your standards, gotcha

Whatever's below honorable mention for Colt Griffin in a different sport, he was promptly given number 45. And then was terrible like so many pitchers are.
