Here is the thing with trying to use stats to judge football players. You can't.
Bortles 2015 vs Brady 2004
It id utterly impossible to compare two quarterbacks via statistics, since the two have different everything - different coaches, offensive linemen, receivers, running backs, receivers, etc. There are so many different variables that greatly impact a quarterback's performance, yet few take that into consideration.
While I believe you have a valid point, I'd really like to compare two players from the same year instead.
The game has changed dramatically over the course of Brady's career. He led the NFL with 28 touchdown passes in 2002; that would have ranked 14th in 2015. In 2004 there were 11 starting quarterbacks with passer ratings over 90; last year there were 17, the year before there were 19.
2015 stats are better than 2004 stats across the board, which makes comparing Bortles' 2015 stats to Brady's 2004 stats meaningless. If you are going to compare, then the best way would be to see how each ranked in various stats that year, rather than just comparing the raw stats.
In this case:
Passing Yards
7th - --2015 Bortles - (4,428)
10th -- 2004 Brady - (3,692)
Touchdowns
2nd (tie) - 2015 Bortles - (35)
6th -- 2014 Brady - (28)
Interceptions
32nd - 2015 Bortles - (18)
12th -- 2004 Brady - (14)
Interception Percentage
21st -- 2015 Bortles - (3.0)
8th --- 2004 Brady - (3.0)
Passer Rating
23rd - 2015 Bortles - (88.2)
9th -- 2004 Brady - (92.6)
Completion Percentage
31st -- 2015 Bortles - (58.6)
17th -- 2004 Brady - (60.8)
Yards per Attempt
15th -- 2015 Bortles - (7.31)
10th -- 2004 Brady - (7.79)
Bortles does better in passing yards and TD passes, but it's not close at all in interceptions, passer rating and completion percentage.
Combining all these categories Bortles' average rank was 19th, while Brady's average rank was 10th. That's how much of a difference there is in the passing game between those two years. Head to head the two players raw numbers look the same, but in reality one quarterback's season was far superior to the other's.
