Quote: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.

 

The overall stats are pretty similar.  I think Jag hit it right on the head.  Over the last 4 weeks Blake has taken another step.  He's been completing in the mid 60's and still completing passes down the field.  If he plays at that level next season you will see the same levels of production even with improvement in the running game and a better defense.  If he and the receivers take ANOTHER step forward, look out.
