We have "genuises" on this board that say that's not proof that Bortles gets fat on garbage stats.

Bortles sucks. And it is disgusting that our front office made us sit through another year of this microwaved garbage.

Blake has had some games with plenty of garbage time.  Today's game was one of his worst in that regard. 

But he's had many more games in which he put up a hefty stat line that didn't involve much (if any) garbage time. 
In many of those games - he was just playing from behind on the scoreboard  - but the games often were not out of reach. 

It really doesn't take a "genius" to know the difference between the two. 
 
He's really not the Tom Brady of garbage-time. He just plays better when the pressure is off and he has nothing to lose. 

But seriously  -  who gives a damn?  The guy just doesn't have what it takes to be a good QB in the NFL. He'll be gone next season  - no matter what your definition of "garbage time" might be.

I think that's the whole problem here.."He'll be gone next season".. I think the majority of us realize this and also realize that except for the top 5 draft pick, this is just going to be another squandered season. That's why people are so upset IMO, that we have to ride with this turd of a QB for a whole season with the same results every game, except for that 3 or 4 out of 16..
