Terrible QB play holding team back from legitimate Super Bowl challenge? Check.
Bortles is terrible, and Jacksonville will either sign an Eli/Alex Smith FA and draft another QB this year. The Jags have won despite Bortles all year. The defense will have to be 2001 Ravens-esque for the Jags to best the Steelers, Pats, and whoever comes out of the NFC.
This is why there's no comparison.
Dalton had a great team? MVP type season.
Bortles has a great team? He's considered an anchor.
Without looking, I want to say Dalton had a better season this year in a junk offense. I will say this: pretty amazing how the Jags managed to win a playoff game with the numbers Bortles put up. Our teams have never been able to support a bad QB performance in 7 tries.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
