Brunell 1996 at this point- 18 INT


Bortles 2015 at this point- 13 INT


Bortles is at 22 TD- 13 INT. He may finish 2:1 and an INT % below 3.0%. Bortles is at 3.1% now....Favre was at 3.3% FOR CAREER. Some people don't understand statistics and don't understand if you throw the ball 40 times, you will be intercepted once.

I agree with this. The throws beyond the line of scrimmage where rookie mistakes tho for sure. But you have to count on your QB throwing a decent amount of interceptions with as high a usage rate as Bortles currently has. Percentage wise Bortles is normal. A good team should have no troulbe overcoming 1 turnover when the O still scores 25 points. A bad team loses that matchup. We are a bad team. No one should have thought differently after the last couple of 'squeakers' we won. 

 

I am pleasantly surprised we are 4-7 after the start we had. This team probably won't put anything together even close to what the 96 team did, but to be at the same record as them at this point is shocking considering 5 weeks ago we were 1-6. I don't believe its a true turnaround, but it is still impressive non the less. The Jags might actually hit the 7-9 a lot of people thought they would before the season. I believe my prediction was 5-11. I would be shocked if they don't beat that.
