“He’s elevating the talent around him”

Boy if that’s not the most true statement about him. He’s making an average OLine look good. He’s taking average playmakers and making them look really good. That’s the true sign of an elite/franchise QB. Can you elevate the players around you to play better? And he certainly can.

2022 stats is Lawrence having us in every game but Detroit.

Bortles 2017 was good. We led league in offence drives that year and were really good in the red zone.

2015* Bortles you mean, he had 35 TDs. And I disagree with the garbage time narrative but, he was bailed out by Allen Robinson who was seemingly uncoverable that year hauling in 80 catches for 1400 yards and 14 TDs.

The Garbage time stats notion is pretty stupid, he had a 5 td game against the Titans which we lost by a score for example. 

The big difference between Lawrence and Bortles is their talent level, I was highly against drafting Blake I really wanted Khalil Mack or Watkins that year. But I understood taking the chance on him because well, We had Blaine Garbage and Chad Henne.


I will say this about Blake tho, preseason in his rookie season he showed some flashes (obviously just pre season but you know) and it felt so good to see a QB who could actually throw the ball past 5 yards after Blaine.. but once the regular season came around it became pretty clear what he was.
