Quote:The commentators had some valid points, especially that a lot of Jags fans seem content to forget how horrendous some of Blake's mistakes were last year.  However, I found an interesting stat for comparing Bortles and Carr which isn't brought up often enough and it's QBR in the 4th quarter. Take a look for yourself:

Neither one of these QBs is where they need to be yet, but if I were betting money on which one will have the better career I'd say hands down it's going to be Blake.  I have a feeling Carr has reached his peak and I think Bortles has more potential and will make another jump this year.

 


This is a very interesting stat. Who do you want leading your team? The one who falls apart at the end of the game, or the one who may struggle to start but finishes strong?

 

You can debate it either way, but I'd take the clutch 4th quarter guy every time.

 

Also, I agree that Carr has probably peaked or is close to it, he's a year older than Blake already and I just don't see the eye opening plays to show me he'll be much better. He's good, his accuracy is solid, he throws about league average INTs. But you have to consider his OL as well, one of the best pass blocking lines in the league. Carr fans will make the exact same arguments against Blake, but IMO, I just see much more potential in Blake.
