Ok fine, look at this list and tell me it's not silly to compare TD:INT between eras. Bortles is among the worst of the active QBs in it, and he is still top 50 all time. Steve Young is the only one in the top dozen that wasn't active within the last 3 years. All timers like Dalton, Flacco, Tannehill, Jameis, and Schaub are in the top 40 all time. It's simply the worst stat to try to use to compare players between eras.

Look at this quote from footballperspective: "Consider this: just ten quarterbacks in NFL history have a career TD/INT ratio better than the 2015 league average! Those quarterbacks are Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Tony Romo, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Donovan McNabb, and Joe Montana." Literally from every QB who ever played only Steve Young, Joe Montana, and Donovan McNabb were retired QBs better than the 2015 league average in TD:INT.
