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?

Fournette saw 8+ men in the box 48% of the time. That's an insane number. If you watched the Jags games this year, it's not hard to see how teams were playing this Jags offense. Load the box and force Blake to throw. Just about every single team did it which should allow Blake to see easier defenses when he drops back to pass.

The last game of the season may have been meaningless but he still played. If he had dropped 300 and 3 TDs in that game, I'm sure you would use that to help boost your argument. Blake played average this year. He threw for 20 TDs and 13 interceptions. There are probably a lot of QBs who could do that.
