Quote:LOL....Fallen into the BAD TEAM trap of meaningless Stats. A bunch passing yards when you are behind by big deficits are meaningless. That is Bortles for much of the season. #2......Both Oakland and Minny have top 5 rushers in the league (#5 and #1 respectively). They dont have to throw as much. Completion percentage......The 2 other QBs have higher completion percentages. LOL.
Never fails......I understand you love your QB....but until he able to do it on a team that actually has a chance to win more than 5 games.........you dont know how good he his.
You also have to factor in that Oakland and Minny having top rushers along with them throwing a lower percentage of deep passes helps them to maintain a better completion percentage. Teddy has only thrown a fraction as much which really helps him maintain a higher percentage, especially as of late, but Carr over the past half of the season has actually thrown more than Bortles but with a much lower completion percentage.
Teddy's completion percentage for the year is at 65.9 percent, and he's done really well as of late completing 74 of 109 passes for 67.8 percent over the past four games. Carr started off well, but has had several games under 55 percent over the past eight weeks. Over the last four weeks Derek has completed 89 of 161 passes for 55.2 percent. Bortles started out rather low but has improved considerably. Over the past four weeks Blake has completed 90 of 139 passes for 64.7 percent.
This is even more evidence that Blake has caught up to and surpassed Derek over the past four weeks.
Teddy has the highest completion percentage and the most wins, but that's where his accolades end. Teddy is averaging 28.5 attempts per game this season where Bortles is at 38.3 and Carr is at 36.0. It's the total yards and TDs that are most telling...
1. Blake Bortles - 4,189 yards, 35 TDs
2. Derek Carr - 3,793 yards, 31 TDs
3. Teddy Bridgewater - 3,132 yards, 14 TDs
Heck, Bortles has more TDs over his past five games than Teddy has racked up all season.
