You must be confusing Blake with just about every single other QB.

Blake was below average at just about everything outside of rushing. 

He was average in 2017 and his “great playoff performances” weren’t even that good. The wins against Buffalo and Pitt held this team back from truly evaluating the QB position. He threw for 214 and a TD against Pitt. Wow! Sign me up for that! That’s amazing.

That's pretty much the definition of average. Some people on this board must think 350 yards and 3 touchdowns are average, that's actually pretty elite. I'm not defending Bortles, I'm glad we signed Foles but to call Bortles the worst player in the NFL last year is to completely ignore what happened to the offense overall. Let's inject a little realism into the discussion.
