My original point though wasn't so much around Bortles being average or below average it was more around the injuries impact on the offense. What I was saying is that Bortles was close enough to average to not make much of a difference in the outcome of the season. You could have taken a really good QB and the record would have been very similar.

You're OCD about Bortles, I've realized that now. But he's as good as gone now so barring him signing with another team, I'll be curious to see who you latch on to next.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

To be fair this isn't rigorous statistical evaluation. If we wanted to be anal about it first we'd have to determine what average means. If it's based on statistics it would have to all be rate based. Then we'd have to figure out what a standard deviation is in that stat, then we could figure up the likelihood of an "average" QB having that statistical performance. Doesn't really seem worth the time. We already know he was good enough to be minutes and a defensive nosedive from the Superbowl. If he's truly below average it's probably not that far.

This is , very specifically, about Blake in 2018. We already know what the average stats for QBs in the 2018 are and we already know how far below them Blake was. + Most year watched him play in 2018 and could see how had he is.

That could certainly be done, but assuming a large enough sample size for figuring the average and also for evaluating Bortles stats it's likely unnecessary. The real issue is determining what average means. If it means everyone that has ever picked up a football professional or not then Bortles is statistically indistinguishable from Tom Brady. If it means among NFL starters that have thrown more than 2000 passes in the last five seasons it would show heavily against him because most of the time when a QB plays badly they don't get multiple seasons uninterrupted to build up that many attempts.

From drops and scheme we just dont have the Coaching staff to properly make adjustments when things go awry. I'm hoping thats what the whole Foles signing is for actually. If we want to continue gameplanning for the 1st half of games then Foles may be the QB to make it work. If he has good timing and ball placement then no matter what teams sit on our routes, he should be able to fit in that tight window unlike Bortles consistently. Only thing that makes sense honestly. We didnt use Bortles good traits, running the ball via option or designed QB runs so i assume we just want a QB that stands in the pocket and throws quick passes into tight coverage accurately but doesnt really use any mobility.

A QB who was at 90 across the board in rate+ stats would be among the worst QBs in the league. At least you're taking the L with grace. I doubt I'm even in the top 10 of Bortles naysayers on the board, gave him plenty credit for how he played last year. While also acknowledging it's clear we should have moved on in the 2017 draft. Any examples of other layers I have "latched on to"?

Hey i got redemtion with almost 400 this season. His games against Pitt and NE in the playoffs are vastly overrated by some on this board. That Pats defense last season was absolutely dreadful and he threw for 214 and TD against Pitt. Also... The coach you're referring to about playcalling just became the OC of the Packers.

Yea i saw the bad passes and it bothered me as well. As far as the down and distance on alot of drives, thats what mattered to me the most. We kept trying to fit a square peg in a round hole just running hoping it would break big. Iirc we are supposed to be a run first balanced team not a run first second and pass when running would be even more dumb than the first 2 downs.(03-13-2019, 11:37 AM)JagsFansince1995 Wrote: Yes, i do know.

I also am not overrating the steelers and pats game. I know they had their own issues, which is why i wasnt shocked the SB was a passing yardage fest although alot argue foles balled out like the pats defense was top 5 all of a sudden. I expected a 400 yard game with everyone clowing the FO for running against the PAts when the pass wouldve took us to the ship. I knew we were going down hill fast though when the game against KC we threw 40 times like we cant spell balance let alone do it correctly. We run heavy and then get stopped. Next game we pass more and blow it out the water then the following game we go pass heavy and fail. Thankfully our former OC has a QB that can go pass heavy all the time.

I've honestly never seen anyone so completely and utterly miss the point of a thread but as they say, smart players know when to get off the court.

The fact that Blake was good when the oline was healthy and then bad when it wasn't suggests that oline play is very important particularly when a QB is at the average end of the scale.
