If you gave me the option between Bortles and Mariota I would probably go with Mariota, but that’s like picking between the 23rd & 24th best starting QBs. The only thing different is one is most likely heading to the bench and one is gonna get near top of the market money. I as a fan of either team would want something more than that.

mariota is LEAGUES better than bortles... only jags fans think otherwise

Bortles 
102 TD
72 INT (2.8) percent rate 
59.4 completion percentage 
17269 yds career 

Mariota 
65 TD
39 INT (2.6) percentage 
62.5 completion percentage 
10974 yds career 

Wouldn’t quite say leagues in all calls better, but I give the slight nod to Mariota for being slightly more accurate and a bit less INT prone. Bortles has one year on Mariota but removing it from the comparison helps him as 2014 was by far his worst. When Mariota stepped in for his rookie year he did quite decent. 

The one quality that Bortles has on Mariota is durability. Mariota seems to get hurt a bit more often. 
I’m not sure what the point of this was anyway, because neither would be a QB I’d build my franchise around but that’s just me
