Quote:All statistics are misleading. Scouts break down every play to see where those numbers are coming from because the numbers alone are meaningless.


But if you have to make a big deal about numbers, think about this one: his time on the 40-yard dash.

So if a QB had 5 tds to 10 ints, that wouldnt concern you? Stats are a part of the puzzle. They matter to an extent, especially if the player has not played a difficult schedule.


Bortles has the proto-typical size and arm, but his numbers are not the best. He is a second round prospect being propped up as a top 10 pick because of the drop off after Bridgewater.
