That is elite. Only 3 players had a lower INT % than that. And guess what? He has improved that percentage every season. Similar to basically every other young quarterback entering the league.

2 meaningless games? You mean when they still could have earned the #1 seed? Hindsight is 20/20 and the Pats and Steelers didn't lose one of the last 2 but the Jags still had something to play for.

Blake also consistently goes up against 8 or 9 in the box which means he has single coverage on pretty much every single play. You can't compare his stats to other QBs who don't see that type of defense.

Well we can agree at least the last week was meaningless as the Steelers and Patriots finished with 13 wins and the Jags 10 so they both had a 2 game lead in the final week. I don't remember all the logistics to stay alive for the bye in the second to last week but may have Steelers losing to the Browns and the Patriots losing to the Jets. So maybe you are right. Again I hear this 9 in the box argument, but do you have some sort of metric to show the defenses he faced vs the rest of the league and percentage where teams were stacking the box? I am unsure where you find this information that teams are playing him exclusively single coverage, but somehow he throws for 21 touchdowns and the team is the best in the league at running the ball. Is the O-line just that elite?
