Quote:I hear ya. The one thing that, as a Jaguars fan, I find comfort in is the lack of accuracy I see on his mid and long passes. You are right, Luck got no help yesterday. His WRs dropped alot of balls. But there were a several balls that were dropped because they were not on target or under-thrown.


There was one ball in particular that was 20 yards down field to a wide open TE and luck completely underthrew him... The TE did get his hands on it, so you can blame the TE a bit for it. But if one is to expect luck to reach the exalted position of the next Marino, Elway, Brady, or <insert favorite QB here> those passes have to be better thrown by luck.

That play you mention was funny, it would have been a good catch on a horribly under thrown ball and they blame the tight end.


A couple of weeks ago Lewis dropped a perfect pass wide open and the announcer claimed the throw by Bottles was behind him even though it hit him perfectly in stride.


Sometimes the difference between quarterbacks is purely peoples biases and perceptions. Luck seems to always be talked of favourably, you see him regularly make bad decisions and the announcers never acknowledge it. While If Defenders drop a Bortles pass they will bang on about his poor decision making for 5 mins.
