POLL Blake Bortles: Bust?

[Fountain City Blues]

Still a bust.

Still a bust.

Technically he's turning it around so the 15 people who said that were right.

Turning around from terribad to just bad is not really compelling. He played the Seahawks, Texans, and Colts, big whoop.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Last good defense Bortles saw

19/33 160 yards (4.8 YPA) 0 TD's 1 INT 3 sacks for 32 yards to drive his net passing to 128. Also fumbled once.

Week 1 vs. Texans: 11-21 with 125 passing yards and a TD.
Week 15 vs. Texans: 21-29 with 326 passing yards and 3 TDs.

His games against the Colts are pretty comparable. But the Seahawks are a potential playoff team who's pass defense isn't something to laugh at even without Sherman. He's getting better and that was one of the options. We win.

Seattle has a top 10 pass defense. He just threw 2 TDs on that secondary. Or at least they HAD a top 10 pass defense.

Houston is the worst defense in the NFL. They are 31st in YPA allowed. Methinks you made that up.

Me thinks you read that wrong.

A Rams and Jacksonville Super Bowl would be great

Ok, fine. I'll play along. Seattle with the injuries they have are a BAD defense. Their pass D scares absolutely nobody with a pulse. Why should I be impressed he threw on a secondary sans Sherman and Chancellor?

 

[olympicoscar]

He's gotten Jacksonville in the playoffs. Give him credit for that. I don't think he's really a long term QB, but for this year he makes the grade.

Not according to the stats. 13th in the league against the pass after Bortles went off on them for 2 TD and over 260 yards.

 

[Yo Tee]

The whole point of this thread was is he a bust or will he turn it around. The answer is clear. He's turned it around.

They don't have Sherman or Chancellor anymore to prop those up. They're going to get waxed by Dallas if something doesn't change.

That's laughable... considering a hot minute ago he was well under 7 yards an attempt despite having a strong supporting cast on both sides of the ball. And still is only at a 7.17 YPA despite blitzing some sorry secondaries.

They don't have Sherman or Chancellor and they are still a possible top 10 secondary.

Not even remotely close to a top 10 secondary as it is current constituted. Earl Thomas is a 1 man show...

He's gotten better and that's undeniable. Bottom line.

The stats suggest otherwise.

The stats also include the front 7 funny enough. The stats are a mirage, mate.
