Quote:The great QB draft of 1983.

 

1985 Stats

Ken O'Brien - 3,888 yards / 25 TDs / 8 Ints / 96.2 passer rating

Dan Marino - 4,137 yards / 30 TDs / 21 Ints / 84.1 passer rating

 

I know a lot of people like Ken O'Brien better than Marino but I'd still take Marino over O'Brien .... that's just me.

 

I like what Bortles is doing  -- right now, I wouldn't trade him for either Bridgewater or Carr.

 

I agree. 

 

I dont' care about Bortles high INT number. Just gotta also elevate the TD number. Thats the one difference when making the comparisons of Manning's rookie year and Marino's rookie year in terms of citing Bortles' rookie year and high INT total to theirs. 

 

Quote:Derek Carr is averaging 5.9 YPA.  We've seen that dink and dunk game here for way too many years.  Eventually, the defenses catch up .... knowing you don't go downfield.

 

True. We've seen evidence of the defenses catching up with the above even in short sample sizes from this year when we stray from going down field. They just bunch the defenses up and sit on the routes read to jump them.
