this is why I'm not high on Bortles and high on Murray.


Yeah, look at Murray's stat line against top 10 defenses. He's awful: a completion rate hovering around 50%, lots of INTs, just 245 yards a game and just one win against eight losses.

ETA: Contrast that with Manziel, who I cannot stand, but throws for over 300 a game with a completion percentage of nearly 70% with another 55 yards a game in rushing. He actually posts more efficient numbers against stiffer competition. He may be an arrogant douche a-hole but he can back it up (at least at the college level).

That's a very small sample of games and the win/loss is due to much more than QB play.

Look at his numbers against top 35 defenses and compare them to his overall numbers.

Hell, Murray has almost as many starts against top 35 defenses as some of the more hyped QBs have against all opponents.

I wish it was broken down by year since some of those guys played for a long time and not everyone is a stud as a freshman

Regarding your Manziel comment, you tend to throw a lot more and for more yardage when you're behind.

But regardless, do you even sample size, bro?
