On average Brett Favre had an 86 QB Rating and threw on average 17 INTs each season (16.8 rounded up), and 25 Touchdowns per season.   He is the Jaguars QB Blake Bortles idol, and the more you watch him play he does remind me of Brett in a few ways even down to the type of character.  Brett fumbled about 8.3 times per year too, its funny how people forget stuff like that because the Packers were winning games.

At least to this point one way they differ is that Blake is more like Aaron Rodgers in how he uses his legs to keep Defenses honest & to get critical first downs when receivers are covered that Brett never did, and Blake is more elusive in the pocket (because he has to or he would probably be killed with his oline).

 

Brett didn't play his rookie year so you can only really compare the 2nd year of both QBs where Brett threw for 3,227 yard
s 18 Tds
, 13 INTs, 6.9 avg, 85.3 Rating, 30 20+ and 9 40+ passes.

to Blake's 2,952 yards
, 6.8avg, 22TDs
, 13 INT, 82.3 AB Rate, 50 20+
& 6 40+ passes and he still has five more games to add to it!

The key is Blake has to make better choices, and his Oline has to give him more time to throw.  The Jaguars have some easy teams to play including the Saints which he should have a very favorable game against.

Only once in Jacksonville Jaguars history did a QB go over 4,000 yards passing which was Mark Brunnell in 1996!  Yes, Blake has a chance to be in that club this year!

List of Jaguar QB Single Season stats from Profootball

 

Blake currently needs one more passing Touchdown to tie (David Garrard) for the franchise single season Passing TD record (Blake has 22 with five more games to go.  DG threw 15 INTs that year and only had 2,734 yards that year along with MJD to help him out & a much better oline).
