JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Quarterbacks Blake Bortles and Derek Carr are early in their third NFL seasons. They’re certainly not finished products, and it will be at least another year before it’s fair to make a final evaluation on whether they have a chance to become the elite players their franchises drafted them to be.
But they have played enough games to start to get a feel, and right now it’s clear that Oakland’s Carr has out-performed Jacksonville’s Bortles. He’s thrown more touchdown passes, fewer interceptions, and has won more games.
But which of those quarterbacks will be better in 2019?
