Ignoring 8 starts spread out over the end of 2 seasons is not even close to the same as ignoring 3 full seasons. If you're wanting to have a discussion about this let's try to keep it somewhat honest please.

Also, I said Bortles supporting cast was bad I wasn't throwing it out. Statistically they were just as bad as Cousins. They were both forced to carry an inordinate amount. Even playing fields. The difference is Cousins dragged his awful supporting cast to a slightly above .500 record. Bortles carried his awful supporting cast to 3 top 5 picks.

No my good man the difference is a project QB who's supposed to sit his first year if not two years of his career was put in a unwinnable situation and yet people want to hold that against him as if he was drafted as a finished product. What makes the situation worse is unlike Kirk Cousins who had a genius of coaches such as Mike Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan, Jay Gruden and Sean McVay to help him develop in the quarterback position Blake Bortles have Gus Bradley, Jedd fisch, and Greg Olsen as people who supposed to help him develop as a QB in the NFL and yet you wonder why he played poorly during the first three years of his career? I understand your concern of this team regression to the mean based on staying status quo but let the situation play out because the man can still develop under the proper coaching in his life.
