I came to the conclusion that he didn't really have much "garbage time" stats in reality, but he had inflated numbers due to playing from behind often and abandoning the run game.

I am a big fan myself but do not have the will or the time to analyze every single  throw.    Here is what I can tell you:

1. He is awful at times almost every game.  His accuracy hovers around 59. (low for any top tier QB)

2. Going back to 2015 he was inaccurate that year as well.  The difference was Allen Robinson and Hurns were making ridiculous catches that year. The wr's saved his bacon all season long.

3. He fails to make simple nfl throws. That wobbly duck to a wide open Robinson symbolize his career.

4.  Bortles Lacks Consistency!  For every good throw he follows it up with 2 bad ones. 

5.  Going into year 4 basics should not be an issue.  He is young but how long does it take to get the basics down?  I have heard rumors he is the Forest Gump of QB's.  He hasn't proven he can read an nfl defense.
While I think a few of your points are overstated/exaggerated greatly, I don't really disagree with any of that. 

I'm not saying he's going to ever be able to take a team to the playoffs. I don't even know if he can beat out Henne this season. 

I'm just refuting some incredibly lazy and/or intentionally misleading argument about all of this garbage time production.
