Quote:Historically he's averaged 20 TDs and 13 INTs when you exclude his one big statistical season. That's mediocre to bad, depending on who you ask. If his most recent season was his best one I could understand the argument that he's clearly only improving, but his most recent season was his worst, and he was playing like hot garbage BEFORE he had his injury problems.

 

Luck has had more wins, and the big reason for that is that he got to play the Gabbert led Jaguars and Locker led titans for years. I'm not saying Luck is terrible, I think he'll easily turn out to be at least the second best guy out of the four starting QBs currently in the AFCS, I'm just not convinced he's better than Bortles, especially considering Bortles was two years younger in 2015 than Luck was when Luck had his big season.

 

All of that said I expect you'll dismiss all of that because it's not what your emotional mind has decided it wants to hear and you'll get to work on rationalizing why I'm incorrect. I look forward to it.

Why would you exclude Luck's one big statistical season and then perform an analysis? Why not include it? Are you including Blake's stats from last year in your assessment of who is better?

 

Luck had more wins, 11 in his fist year than Bortles in two years combined. Aside from playing the Jags and Titans, (3 wins) he had 8 wins against other teams in his rookie season.

 

I am not dismissing what you have said, however,  in my opinion, the arguments that you have given do not appear to be solid. I agree that Luck is good, not great and that he is mistake prone. I agree that Bortles is a good QB. Where we disagree is who is the better QB.
