The Lee pass

The 1st Lewis TD

The 2nd Lewis TD

The Hurns TD

All great throws.

The play where Weddle had his hands on him and Bortles pulled away and completed a pass for another 7-8 yards to make the FG more manageable for Myers, too.

It was great to see the offense advance out of the stone age today. I think this was comfortably Bortles' most complete game of his career, so kudos for that.

That said, this performance is still just one jellybean on a scale that has a whole lot more jellybeans on the other side of the scale. He's gonna have to string many more of these types of games together before anything can be considered fixed.

You say that he has many more bad games than good, but I don't think you're giving him credit for 2015.  I don't want to hear about garbage time, Blake had a damn good year in 2015.  He threw for over 4400 yards with 35 TD's, 18 INTs, with a passer rating of 88.2.  Yes he could have thrown less INT's, but he had to make a lot happen with little at his disposal. Honestly I think last year was just one of those years where nothing could go right.  I also think that Blake was surrounded by a fairly incompetent coaching staff.  I think that after this year people will realize that 2016 was the aberration, not 2015.  I'm excited for Blake, and I think he's in for a big year, throwing for just over 30 TD's with 12 INTS or less.  I really believe this team is in for a great year.

He was average in 2015. Very good in TD%, very bad in comp% and INT%, and a tad above or below average in Y/A, AY/A, ANY/A, and overall passer rating. I don't really care about anyone's overall stats they are way too noisy due to severe volume differences between QBs. Obviously there are externalities on rate stats too they aren't perfect, just better than overall.

Todays game showed me it isn't all on Blake.

1. The coaches actually put together a decent game plan.

2. The wr's actually caught most of the catchable balls.

3. The Oline won some battles.

4. They let the boy play football unafraid.

How many of his ints come off of deflections from his wr's? I noticed Lee is a severe hazard if he doesn't catch a ball clean.

It never has all been on Blake, in reality. People just love to blame the QB for anything and everything because, well, he's the QB. That and some people only see what they want to see.

Bortles has been asked to try and carry this team all on his back for at least 3 years now. There's very few QBs in this league who can pull off carrying their team on their back.

He's got some faults of his own, that's without a doubt, but he isn't as god awful as everybody tries to make him out to be.

This is far and away the best Rushing attack he has ever had around him. Tenfold and it's not even close. This Defense is looking like it's going to be on another level this year.

Only been 3 games, but lets just see what he can do when he doesn't have to press and forces plays constantly. The Jets have a strong Defense, so lets see if this Offense can keep rolling along.
