That doesn't have anything to do with defense. The article doesn't say Jags losses are solely caused by Bortles  playing like hot garbage in first half or when the game is close. That's a straw man argument that Bortles defenders raise constantly to falsely make his critics look dumb. But the author, does argue, correctly, that it has a negative impact on your chances of winning if your starting QB is worst in the league when the game is on the line.  

The fact that there are sunshine posters delusional enough to debate any of this is nuts.

Mathematical "precision" is only based on the problem vs. the solution and tolerances.  Regarding the "article" opinion piece in the OP, I can make a spreadsheet and graphs that show otherwise.

"Bortles plays terribly when the game is close. He plays like Tom Brady when the game is out of hand." is an opinion and not "precision" mathematics.
