Quote:No one with any sense would ever compare Bortles favorably with Luck.  Are you delusional?  I don't hear Tom Brady saying he wishes he could play the position like Blake Bortles.  Are you serious?  That's like comparing Mark Sanchez to Johnny Unitas or Joe Montana.  Mercy, I understand that you're a fan, but goodness gracious.  Have you actually watched Luck play the game?  Luck started from game one on a team that went 2-14 its previous year.  By week 8, he set the NFL record for most passing yards in a game by a rookie.  By week 9, he'd passed for more yards than Peyton Manning did as a rookie.  By week 14, he set the NFL record for the most victories by a rookie QB drafted number one.  By the end of the season, he set the NFL rookie record for passing yards.  He took a 2-14 team and led it to an 11-5 record and a spot in the playoffs, where his team lost to the Ravens, who eventually won the Super Bowl that season.  I don't know what more to say.  I'm speechless.  Bortles and Luck.  You have got to be kidding me.

What was the colts record the year before they went 2-14? What was their record in all 5 seasons before they went 2-14? One could argue that the Colts were simply missing a QB.  I mean...How do you complete less than 60% of your passes and break all those records if you don't have a decent team around you? **HINT** you don't.  

 

There is nothing wrong with comparing 2 players stats. Also, keep in mind what's being compared is NOT year 3 Andrew Luck to year 1 Blake Bortles we're comparing year 1 to year 1. Luck is not nor was he some sort of legend that you clearly think he is. Now I am not saying Luck is not good because he is, but I don't think he's quite to worship status that you clearly have him at.
