We have not had legitimately good QB play since then. (The 2015 season ws Bortles throwing for 300+ yards when we were down 21 points.). And that's the main reason 2011-2016 has been such an awful stretch of football.

How many games where bortles threw for 300 yds when down by 21 pts? If it didn't happen often then stop downgrading blake bortles year because statistically blake bortles 2015 year was better than anything garrard has done. Please save me the garrard won games arguments because he had a better team and structure coaching wise around him at the time and they won alot of games despite of him not because he put the team on his back and won games. To future make my point think of how many people on Garrards coaching staff have been or currently are head coaches. Del Rio, Koetter, Lynn, and Mike Smith. Blake on the other hand coaching staff during his tenure as a starter were Gus Bradley Homeboys so you all figure it out. lol.

You're over looking the one statistic that really counts when comparing Bortles to Garrard; we won more games with Garrard than we ever have with Bortles! Sorry, but imho much of Bortles 2015 'statistical success' was a result of 'garbage time' plays and the fact that at that time both of the Allens were 'off the radar' as far as the opposition was concerned; result... they didn't draw the coverage that they have since then. Bortles stats in 2015 looks like a fluke... until Bortles shows us it wasn't.
