Quote:Not true. Here's some key information from an article written on this very subject in Big Cat Country.

 

In 2015 while the Jaguars were behind by between 9-16 points (so, two scores) he threw for just over 1,000 yards with nine touchdowns and seven interceptions. When the Jaguars were losing within one-to-eight points (so, one score) he threw for just over 1,500 yards with 13 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.

 

Twenty-two of Bortles 35 touchdowns were thrown in games where the margin of victory was between zero and seven points with only five being thrown in games where the margin was 15+ points.

 

No one calls Derek Carr's numbers garbage time, but nearly half of his touchdowns were thrown in  games where the final margin of victory was 8+ points.

 


Not true? I said most were when they were losing. You stats show he threw 62% of his TD when trailing by less than 17. Did he throw any when trailing by more than 17? Probably so that 62% goes even higher.

Problem is he doesn't throw any in the 1st quarter. Someone mentioned he has thrown I think 5 or 6 career TD's in the first quarter.
