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.

uh no... 

 

Bortles is doing more with less.

 

tacks D is better than Jags d, statistically.

also tacks haven't faced the Pats yet or the Jets.

 

against tougher opponents MM was hushed, against awful defenses he's lit it up.

 

but he's done it through a team managing their QB, much like Minny is doing with Teddy (in his second year)
