Here's a fun thought experiment: take away any other QB's top two most productive receivers and see if they can still win more than lose, let alone win twice as much. That's all. Just take away their two most talented receivers. Since it's that meaningless. Why not?

Can we seriously not at least credit Bortles for hitting just about every other available receiver almost every game? Lee has been the go-to, but it's not like he leans on 1 guy to bail him out. BB still connects with Cole, Lewis, Westbrook.

He is undoubtedly a demonstrably improved and wiser player from who he was 2 years ago, but he's not racking up yards and TDs like then cuz we don't have the deep threats at WR which Hurns and Robinson consistent posed. We don't have the speed at that position to get the kind of separation you need to consistently produce over 250 yds per game. I'm happy with the Bort 70% of the time, which is nothing to sneeze at with Hurns and A-Rob out. With either of them back, I'd expect that to be 80%. With both, it should be more like 85-90%.
