It's  like comparing four apples when three of them are really half squished oranges.

Just plain stupid.

There are some instances in which I could understand making such a stipulation, but the extent of Luck's injury and the complications he's endured make this one pretty tough to sweep under the rug. 

 - It's seems practically impossible that Luck will turn in an "at 100" season in 2018. 

 - Watson has a tiny sample and is also returning from an injury. And it just so happens to be an injury that could have a major impact on what makes him so dangerous. Anyone feel as confident in Watson's scrambling ability in 2018 as they did last year?  I don't. 

 - Mariota is a bit of a crapshoot. He has a tough time staying healthy himself and will need some help from his new OC to limit the turnovers. Keep in mind that this means he's learning a new system in 2018.

 - So if you happen to be a believer that Blake took a legit step forward last season, and you further have faith he could do so again... well ,maybe Bortles is really worth some consideration. Maybe not if all four of these guys is "at 100" as the kids say.  But, you know, they aren't.
