Bortles has never had a passer rating in the 90’s, despite having better receivers. Mariota carried his team even when his O-Line didn’t protect him, he didn’t have good receivers, and he didn’t have a top defense to fall back on. In his three seasons, the guy that Jaguar fans claim can’t stay on the field, has eight fourth quarter comebacks. In his four seasons, Bortles has six. And despite Mariota having by Mariota standards a poor statistical season, four of those 4th quarter comebacks happened last season. When the team as whole isn’t playing well, Mariota still comes through. Nobody in their right mind would take Bortles over Mariota. If Bortles played for the Titans, we’d have better draft positions. That’s all we would have to look forward to.

Think i summed it up when i said mariota had a bad season and tack fans are still behind him. Bortles just now escaped pitchforks in jax. 
Mariota is a franchise qb. Bortles is a backup. 2018 will prove it

So Bortles had a bad season playing for the worst coach of all time in his third year after throwing 35 tds then rebounded to go to the AFC championship game the next one but he's terrible.

Mariota has a bad season his third season, for what you think was a bad coach, having never had anything exceptional about his play before that and looking like a young Alex Smith, but he's a franchise guy.

Got it.
