Quote:I guess I am missing your point. Why even point out that he has interceptions dropped then? Every quarterback in the NFL does. What is relevant is the fact that he accounts for roughly a third of all tipped interceptions in the NFL and at a rate approximately 8 times greater than other quarterbacks. Blake didn't have the same amount of tipped interceptions in previous seasons. He had just one in 2015.


People are going way overboard trying to play the blame game and shoulder Bortles with the whole load. He actually improved last season in several ways. The problem is that he needed to cut down on turnovers and not only did they go up, but were more noticeable/impactful in the fact that there were a lot of pick 6's - bad luck or not.

Because if we are bringing luck into the equation , you also have to consider that luck saved Bortles from picks too. So the tipped picks don't really point to him improving in that area at all.


Sure you can say well Bortles actually had a good INT% when you take away some of the unlucky tipped picks , but you should also consider how often he was saved lucky drops too...as I said , all in all it balances out to Bortles still being too careless with the ball.
