Graphics are great and all, but where's the one that shows drops as well? At least 3-4 of those deep balls hit the WR square in the hands and they dropped it, but of course that doesn't fit the Bortles bias now does it 

Exactly. I want to see dropped comparison as well as protection time. The people who keep trying to apples-to-apples this qb comparison look foolish IMO. The pressure comparison was not close. Not even remotely. Bortles did more with less. He had less time. He got hit more. Less protection, no run game, and receivers were not getting open, and when they were, they were dropping more passes.
The list of disadvantages out of his control goes on and on for this game.
Gabbert had:
1. Healthy O-line v Jags multiple backups
2. AP going strong - even at his age against one of the best D in the entire league v Fournette can't get any hole, again O-line struggles
3. Receivers open AND not dropping v Jags receivers almost never open, and dropping when they are
4. 3-4 seconds of pocket coverage v Jags 1-2 sec


But they wanted to KILL him for doing too much this game. It all starts with the O-line. Why does this need to be pointed out so many times? One play for Bortles was the difference between these haters wanting to kill him and him being a hero. Just one play.
