Quote:No, his 2015 stats were not garbage time stats by any means. They were legit. Blake was on fire that year.


 

I want to drill this point home because I went over the games in 2015 to be sure. I looked at how much was garbage time TDs, etc, and it was a very small percentage. Often in 2015 he was in shoot-out games where he had to throw to win and did.


 

Now I can see how you formulated this opinion because last year we witnessed the most garbage time I've ever seen in a season, but you're wrong about 2015.

You can define garbage time however you want since there is no real standard. If you say it was a very small percentage of his 2015 stats were garbage time then you have an exceedingly restrictive definition of it. 

 

The best way I've seen to explain his 2015 is that 39% of his stats came when the Jags were trailing by 10+ points. The next highest was Derek Carr at 18% I believe it was (could be a little off on that). Regardless, it was right around double the next highest in the league, not double the NFL average, double the 2nd highest. That's a massive amount of "come from behind stats".

 

His stats when the games were close were awfully pedestrian, and extremely inefficient.
