Quote:how many turnovers is he on pace for? What is he on pace for with his completion %? some reason you left that out

not sure how you set a pace for completion %....

he is just under 60% now....

I suppose he is on pace for just under 60%?

 

he is on pace for 22 total turnovers (10 INTs and 1 fumble lost)

 

even still... Teddy's check downs and 6 TDs tell me why his comp % is high and INTs are low. less chances to screw up. GAME MANAGER.

 

people whined last year about Fisch doing too much screens and high % passes...

now a new OC has us taking more shots and people whine....

 

surprise.

 

I don't care what the stats say at the end of the day. ESPNS QBR has Fitzy ahead of Brady, so yeah. PFF graded Rodgers out as less than Bortles the other week.

 

Stats can lie. They only tell a certain part of the story. You have to take stats, situations, eye test, and "feel" into effect. 

"Feel" like when your QB takes the podium does he feel like a franchise QB, does he say the right things and then do the right things.

Does he act the right way on and off the field....

 

 

When I combine all that, the high number of turnovers and low comp % don't bother me so much when thinking about how it is allowing our QB to grow naturally.

As opposed to bottling him up in some safe offense waiting for him to get ousted in the playoffs when you have to score TDs to win....

 

 

THE ONLY argument anyone can say about Bortles that holds any water is that we could have selected Carr in round 2 and done just as well or possibly better (then again Carr here, with Fisch, and a much younger team might not have fared so well)

The world may never know....
