So you believe Bortles has been a top 12 QB this year? 

Brady
Brees
Wentz
Cousin
Ryan
Big Ben
Stafford
Rivers
Tyrod
Smith
Wilson
Keenum
Carr
Cam
Manning
McCown
Prescott
Dalton



Theres 18 names who have played QB better than Blake this year. Then you have guys like Watson and Aaron Rodgers who have played better but for injured. 

Might want to take the L here pal.

Of the QBs listed here I believe Bort has played better than or as well as a handful of them. Outside of around 2 games, Cam has been pretty awful this year. Prescott is garbage without tyron and zeke in the lineup. Awful accuracy with anything intermediate. Dalton and Bortles kinda look like the same QB. Mccown has a high completion percentage but still makes a lot of decisions like a career backup. That pass against the dolphins earlier this year was probably the worst decision/pass I've ever seen. I know you're a big Tyrod fan, but I just don't see it. To me he's on or around the same level as Blake. The one I take most issue with is Eli. Bort has the same TD/int ratio. Is averaging almost a yard more per attempt, and offers a whole other element with his rushing ability. I'm not sure if you actually watych the giants games or just look at stats, but Eli is done. His arm strength is noticeably down, and his accuracy with anything more than 5 yards downfield is extremely sporadic. I think Bortles sits in the 15-20 range. Slightly below average QB, but it could be a lot worse. You and KYjelly act as if we are stuck with the worst QB situation in the NFL. If we are looking at AFC QBs only there are only 3 quarterbacks that I can say with complete confidence are playing at a significantly higher level than Bortles. Big Ben, Tom, and Phillip. All of thr rest are debatable.

Prescott and Cam have been better than Blake this year despite their struggles. Dalton too, he's been good the last few weeks. As for Eli he's been pretty much the only thing on the Giants offense producing bar Engram. His line, run game and receivers are all bad. Tyrods been playing better than Blake despite nothing around him too.  

And no I've never said that we have the worst QB situation. If you look at anything I've posted it's just been about Blake being below average and there being around 18-20 QBs better than him this year. You say 15-20. Not a huge leap.  

My gripe with the whole Bortles thing is people are using this year as evidence that we should keep him next year. When he's being below average in almost every way.
