Quote: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.

 

I exclude it to illustrate the point that he's been mostly mediocre to bad. Even his "good season" was only perceived as being as good as it was because he was already annointed in the media. Bortles is criticized like no one else for his turnovers, but he literally had only two more turnovers on the 2015 season than Luck had on the 2014 season, and that was in Bortles' second season at 23. Luck had his big year at 25 in his third season.

 

Like I said, I already know Luck is a better QB than Brock or mariota, but I wouldn't pass Bortles up for him right now.
