Quote:I'm not trying to destroy Bortles.. but to be objective, the "garbage time" criticism is fair. They haven't beaten a playoff team or even .500 team since when? The New Orleans game, the Tampa game and 2nd Tennessee game are not tapes i'd put on at a passing clinic. Bortles benefits from good deep threat receivers late in games. The short game lacks because of his inconsistent accuracy and poor short yardage options. This is why Lee needs to get on the field, what Ace sanders should have been and what we hope Rashad Greene can provide. Bortles has been stellar against the mediocre, but he needs to become more of a slicer and dicer against the good teams. He's on a good track though and the talking heads have noticed, they have plenty of interns to do the research. 

I agree with everything you said but my question to you is him not beating good teams does the defense have a big part to do with it? Think about it, Teddy Bridgewater beats good teams but have a good defense to help him and no one would think teddy bridgewater with these receivers beat good teams and having our last years defense to support him.
