It's also hilarious what and to whom people choose to latch onto.

This last season for Bortles was very similar to Luck's 2014 from a statistical standpoint while many elements of their game and surrounding circumstances also mirrored each other.

Bortles:

4,400 yards
7.3 YPA
35 TDs
18 INTs
14 fumbles

Luck in 2014:

4,700 yards
7.7 YPA
40 TDs
16 INTs
13 fumbles

They both had great receiving options with shit ass offensive lines.

And that's comparing a second year guy to a third year guy. If Bortles were the Chiefs QB id be excited as shit for the future.

And I'll tell you the major difference as to why the two are viewed at so differently: in 2014 the Colts defense allowed 23.1 PPG. The Jags in 2015? 28.

If the Jags had been able to hold their opponents to an average of 23.1 PPG last season they'd have made the playoffs. We probably still would have beaten them but I don't think it'd have been a 30-0 beatdown like we gave the Texans.
