Quote:I never said he wasn't? Just that all the excuses of Bortles having to carry the team are bogus. Mariota is doing more with a worse offensive line and inferior playmakers. Why don't you just deal with that? Mariota being better doesn't preclude Bortles from reaching his potential.

 

Dude, what?  

 

You're boy is better than BB5?  Come on...  Get real.  He is playing above expectations.  And I will grant that.  

 

But BB5 is playing like a real QB...  The fact that you cannot see that is ridiculous.  BB5 is carrying the team.  Look Bacon, it's clear you don't watch BB5 play football.  So you are relying completely on stats.  If you actually watch the games, you would see that the entire offense runs directly through our passing game.  And the only thing that makes our passing game work is BB5.

 

Seriously, its cute that you are taking turnovers and passer completion % and trying to make an arguement that BB5 isn't good.  But the reality is that BB5, as of right now...  Not projecting... But right now, is a top 10 QB in all the important statistical metrics.  He's top 10 in yards.  Top 10 in TDs.  He's asked to throw the ball more than most QBs and he's only in his 2nd year.  The guy is being asked to carry the team.  

 

It's not hard to figure out.  Unless, you know...  You don't watch him play...   :geek:
