Quote:Did I hallucinate 2015 Blake Bortles???


2015's second ranked QB in TD passes and seventh in yardage a bust?

Perspective:


Yes, last year Blake posted good numbers.

But this 2nd in TDs and 7th in yardage needs some perspective.


2015, only 17 QBs started all 16 games. Of those 17 QBs, 3 more left a game early due to an injury.

14 QBs played all season.


Of those 17 that at least started each week, 13 threw at least 29 TDs or more.


I know Carr and Fitzpatrick got injured and pulled early in at least one of their games.


1. Brady 36

(2) Newton 35

(2) E. Manning 35

(2) Palmer 35

(2) Bortles 35

3. Wilson 34

(4) Brees 32

(4) Carr 32

(4) Stafford 32

5. Fitzpatrick 31

5. Rodgers 31

(6) Rivers 29

(6) Cousins 29


Bortles had a good year last year, yes. However, pretty much every QB that played all season got around 30-35 TDs.


All this "elite" numbers talk about BB last season just isn't accurate IMO.


Bortles played as well as EVERY QB that stayed healthy last year (not much better; not much worse).
