I thought it would be fun to see how Blake stacks up to Andrew during the same stretches of their career. I'll do the best I can to update each week as the season progresses. I'm using main stats like completion percentage, passing yards, TD's (rushing and throwing), Int's, fumbles lost, total turnovers, QB rating, YPA, rushing yards, sacks and total attempts. If you think I'm leaving an important stat out let me know and I may add it unless your name is baconator and you tell me to put in baconators eye test. My intention is not to make an argument, but to give us an idea of how Blake stacks up to the best QB in the AFC South. I think both have had similar situations (not identical) so while not perfect, makes for a fairly reasonable comparison. Green means better, Red means worse, Grey is Neutral and Purple is a tie.

Week 13 and 14:

Never fun when you do this and realize you put in the wrong year for Luck and have to do it all over again smh... Anyways, Luck came back a little on the TD's, but finishes his next 2 with only 2 TD passes so

Blake can gain some more ground here. Blake has definitely improved his QB rating over these last few games and has a chance to get into the 90's which would be fantastic. He is 1 yard shy of Luck's entire 2013 total for passing yards with 2 games to go. Blake has a really good chance at breaking Mark Brunell's all time passing yards number and can do a lot of damage with the saints this week. We may not go to the playoffs, but I'll enjoy watching Blake finish the year. Go Jags!
