Did you read the article?  Not being sarcastic but this is something addressed.

Blake Bortles is literally the Tom Brady of junk time. His QB rating in junk time only is slightly higher than Brady's QB rating in 2016 (which was very high). Other QBs have only a TINY change between junk and non-junk time.  This is a demonstrable trait Blake has and not every other QB does. Which answers your question.

It's not a negative that Blake plays like a Hall of Famer when the games not on the line. That fact IS something you should be aware of when considering his stats.

No I didn`t because i`ve read 5 articles exactly like it already. Every one of them acts like throwing for 4000+ yards and 35 TDs is something that happens every year with bad QBs, They also ignore that fact that maybe 4 of the games could really be considered "garbage time" and one of those games was the Pats which was by far his worst game that season.
Hes by no means an all star QB but hes also not total garbage like everyone likes to act.
