Quote:And my point is that those current stats don't accurately reflect what has been happening on the field. If you look at the situational stats that depict the most important moments of the game, Bortles play has been bottom 5 rather than top 5. You can account for his TDS and yards because the team is always trailing and down big, so you adjust for that fact. What is harder to adjust for is why he crumbles in those pressure moments, or still throws inaccurate passes, or makes poor decisions that lead to turnovers.

Sure you can say some of his yards were in garbage time. Even some of his TD's. Also some of his INTs were the result of being in predictable passing downs and having to be the offense entirely with zero run game to speak of. Also, he is getting pressured constantly. There are factors for the good and the bad. Considering how bad the oline has been and how terrible our defense is, Bortles is playing well as a 2nd year QB. Not perfect, not without blame, still needing improvement, but 2nd year so far? He's doing well.
