Allen Hurns will likely appear on the top 100 tomorrow

Quote:Has it been mentioned that Bridgewater is officially somewhere in the top 100? Because I seriously doubt he will be.

I get that Bortles was a top 5 fantasy QB last year but that is one of the failings of fantasy football. It focuses on the statline without any context. Bortles not only led the league in INTs with 18, he also led the league in INTs inside the 40s (i.e. scoring position) with 10. That's 10 times last year he either took essentially guaranteed points off the board for us or put the opponent in FG range and gave our shaky defense a very short field. Those INTs contributed significantly to several losing efforts.

If our defense had been better and had we won a few more games, I think the league would view Bortles' 2015 season in a more favorable light even with those interceptions as bad as some of them were. Bortles has provided the most exciting QB play this team has seen in years if not ever, but he's gotta clean up the boneheaded mistakes he makes at the precisely wrong times if he wants to be in the top 100 let alone be considered elite. I think he has a good chance of being able to do that.

Carr was ranked 100 and it's probably questionable that he should have made it. He had a similar season to what Bortles had but his team overall was stronger and they were more competitive and won more games which probably helped him.



Bridgewater had a higher INT to TD ratio than Bortles did
