Quote:I wouldn't say light years.... but certainly Carr and Bortles have proven to be more than game managers...

14/9 TD/INT doesn't scream franchise QB to me.

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">1a. Blake Bortles

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">1b. Derek Carr

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2. Jameis Winston

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">3. AJ McCarron

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">4. Marcus Mariota (Shown very little)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">5. Teddy Bridgewater (Shown even less)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">6. Johnny Manziel (Shown he's just a head case)

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> 

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The rest are back ups... so they don't get a rank in file.

 

Less than half of the TDs Bortles threw, and a cool 1200 fewer yards...

 

How people can still think Bridgewater is in the Bortles/Carr conversation is kind of mind boggling to me.  The guy hasn't done anything. 

 

That's not to say he's bad, but there's just nothing there that even hints at him being an elite, top tier QB in the future.  Carr and Bortles both have shown indications that they could be headed that way.

 

I do still put Bortles ahead of Carr, but it's not by much.  Both were fantastic picks, and I could definitely see them being elite in the near future.

 

Winston and Mariota have some flash to them, but I think it's really still to early to say either way on both of them.  We'll see how they look after this coming season compared to Bortles and Car this past season.
