Quote:But when did Gabbert ever have a rough looking day yet still throw for 250 yards, 2 TDs, and no picks?  

 

Since I was the one who started the comparison I should probably rephrase my statement that Mariota's first two games were as good as Bortles best two.  I said that before the Jags game yesterday where Bortles played his best game as a pro but a wide margin.  I still stand by the fact that as of 4pm yesterday, Mariota's first two games were as good as Bortles best two.  

 

Maybe people still dont like his potential but so far the production is hard to ignore.  

 

Or how about Bortles for that matter? This was only the first time in his career he threw for 2 TDs while not throwing an INT. Not counting the game against the Dolphins, Bortles has only 3 games where he didn't throw an INT, where he threw for 2 TDS, 426 yards, 48/94 51% completion rate 4.5 YPA combined. Yesterday was hands down the best game Bortles has every played and he was still very mediocre.
