You keep trying to rank the offense as a whole when the pass offense was woefully out of sync with the run.
You need to evaluate them separately.  Roping them together only skews perspective. 

The run game failed in 2018 because they lost 6 O-linemen and 3 running backs to injury for significant periods of time. 

You apparently want to prop up 2017 Blake Bortles far beyond the pedestal on which he belongs. He played fairly well in significant portions of 7 or 8 games.  He played inconsistently and displayed very poor accuracy the rest of the time. 
One must also recognize that he did this within the construct of a watered-down offense laden with training wheels designed to mitigate the mistakes of an inaccurate QB.  
It was fools gold, and it was unsustainable.

I think you are still missing the point. You just can't have a qb play bad and be a top 5 offence. 

Yes he's always been inconsistent just like every other middle of the range qb. But in 2017 he kept helping give us early leads including the Pittsburgh and new England playoff games

In 2017, it was the defense giving them early leads. How did Blake do against Pitt in the regular season? Then in the playoff Pitt game, Fournette scores a TD, then the defense holds Pitt to a 3 and out and then the pick off Ben to set up a 1 play Fournette 18 yard TD. Then they get an 11 play, 6 run TD drive (Blake throws for 9 yards in the drive) and then Telvin scores to give the Jags a 28-7 lead. He had a really nice throw to Cole in that game but overall, he wasn't super efficient and it was the run game and defense that gave them the lead.

Blake played extremely average in 2017 and that was apparently his breakout season. I mean the guy threw for 21 TDs and still had 13 interceptions. They took the ball out of his hands because he has always been below average and then they give him an extension.
