Seems like Bortles gets a lot of flack and dismissed as a top QB because he throw a lot of interceptions his first two years and thats by Jag fans and other fans. Yes he didnt have the wins last year either but he had one of the worst defenses in the NFL and a below avg running game and OL. 

 

For him to throw 35 TDs and 4,400 yards is pretty amazing and I can see how he was voted in the 50's for top 100 players. 

 

Then people throw out but his completion % is too low, well the next coming of the greatest QB of all time career completion % is 58.1 (Andrew Luck), Bortles career comp % is 58.7. Also the greatest regular season QB of all time first 5 years INTs looked like this 28, 15, 15, 23, and 19 (Peyton Manning) and not one of those years did Manning throw for 35 TDs and only one did he throw for over 30 TDs. 

 

So Blake having 17 and 18 INTs his first 2 years is not that big a deal, the guy has a bunch of weapons around him now and he is the real deal, no reason to be dismissive of him as being a top QB in the NFL.
