Quote: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.

Honest question: How has Luck been mostly mediocre to bad when he set the league rookie passing record in 2012? Then he goes on to set the passing record for the most passing yards within a player's first 3 years. In his third year, he lead the league in TDs and was third in passing yards. He did have a lot of INTs during that span, but again as stated earlier, he compensated for them by still being able to win. His quarterback rating is the highest of any QB in the league in the 4th quarter.

 

I argued that the talent between the Jags and Colts are similar: Both teams rely on the QB and receivers. Both teams have bad O-lines, no run game and poor defenses. Yet Luck wins and takes the Colts to the Playoffs each of his first three years. Meanwhile, Bortles hasn't had a season over .500 or close to it. Respectfully, do you have an argument to explain why?
