I watched every game multiple times, sparky. I made notes on Blake's garbage time production. It was discussed here ad nauseum. Clearly you missed that. 

The exact grand total of everything Blake did when a game was out of reach in 2015 was 397 passing yards and 5 touchdowns. 
That means he threw for 4031 yards and 30 TDs in games that were either won, or were close late in the game. 

You need to know the difference between garbage time and playing from behind. The numbers don't tell the whole story on Blake's poor performance in many of those games and there's tons to critique, but your garbage time claims are just making you look stupid.

Obviously no one agrees on what the right definition of garbage time is, but I feel like yours is consistently among the most strict. For example, I am pretty sure it's been brought up before and you don't count Bortles 90 yard TD pass to Arob when down 13-31 late in the 3rd quarter against the Saints garbage time...which I think is kind of crazy. If I am misremembering and you do count that as garbage time then I apologize.

I only included third quarter action from two games in that compilation. The saints and pats games. 
Pretty sure the TD you cite was in my sum.
 If not, it doesn't alter the outcome significantly.  Important to note: when I did that re-cap it was for the purpose of adjusting projected fantasy numbers for Bortles in 2016, so I was not attempting to paint Bortles in any light one way or the other. I was trying to project whether or not his production would reduce significantly if the team were to be more competitive and have less garbage time situations in 2016. 

And, yes, it's true that there is no classic definition of garbage time. I simply looked at each game individually and it was pretty easy to know (obvious)  which games were still competitive late in the third or early in the fourth.
