Bortles fumbled twice. Who cares how the fumbles happen? You think Dalton is the first player to have the turf cause a fumble?

There's the problem in a nutshell......I said it on the old board, and I'll say it here. You have to have a complete team that can overcome an off day by your QB. Look what the Stoolers did in Pig Pen's first SB, Peyton Manning's last SB. Guess what, when you get to the playoffs, and in big, primetime games, you're generally playing very good to elite teams. QBs, ALL OF THEM, have bad days against teams of this caliber. When the rest of the team can't pick up the slack, you fail. It's that simple. Yet, somehow, only with Cincinnati fans can the rest of the team (inlcuding coaching) shit down their leg, but the QB must remain flawless.
As for the OP......to borrow a moniker from Nately120......Bort Bortles? Are you effing kidding me?
Was that 155 yard, 0 INT game against the Colts any worse than Bortles day? What about the 127 yard, 1 INT game in Texans 2.0? What about Mac's 212 yard, 2 turnover game?
You and I both know the Jags won because they held the Bills to 3 points. You think our D is doing that in a playoff game? Pfff...
They would've allowed 160 yards rushing to Shady McCoy and Tyrod would've play-actioned all over our ass for a 100+ rating, with 150 yards going to tight ends alone.

Listen to any actual professional talk about Bottles and they always bring up that all of his stats are accumulated in garbage time and that's not even close to the player he is.
If all you want to do is look at stats, yea, they look similar but anyone who has actually watched him play can see the guy is hot garbage.
The post that compared their first four years left out passer rating (85.2 for Dalton...80.8 for Bortles), completion % (61.6 for Dalton, 59.1 for Bortles) and YPA (6.99 for Dalton, 6.69 for Bortles).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
