I thought I'd post this link to Greg Gabriel's
breakdown of Bortles. The article can be found at the NFP.

I am not going to deny that this player has talent, but I do feel that he would have been better served staying in college and developing his game... There is too much inconsistency in his overall game. I question if he can become an eventual starter and win in the NFL... Right now, I would take Bridgewater, Manziel, McCarron, Derek Carr, David Fales and Brett Smith before I would take Bortles

It's the National Football Post. It really has some good football news and information on it, but feel free to avoid it all costs.

This sucks, would much rather Bortles than Bridgewater. Much more upside IMO. I think Teddy is what he is if he can stay healthy, I can see Bortles getting much better.
I hate people that evaluate QB like you do. Your kind of thought process is the kind that got us Gabbert in the first place and the kind that would pass on a Peyton Manning, because what you say about Bridgewater is similar to what they said about Manning in his scouting reports.

I like their site, but take everything with a huge grain of salt, as I do with most draft websites. Didn't Lande have Nassib as his #1 QB last year?

I don't know if Lande did, but I know a lot of this board was pimping him. This board loves rejects like Nassib and Dysert.

Whats your weird obesssion with Dysert? Do you know him or something?

yeah I just looked and he did, he actually had him as #1 prospect, I guess as a joke?
also has Barkley and Patton with 1st round grades

Nope. He was dead serious on Nassib. Even Cosell liked Nassib.
Now Lande has a scouting job with some Canadian team.

he acts like on this board, we're the only ones that spoke highly of Dysert, when many national writers thought he was a solid developmental prospect

No one was pimping them as first rounders and Dysert was a guy people wanted in the Mid rounds.

...and Dan Lefevour.
Well, at least a select few of our most "special" posters.

...and Matt Barkley, apparently.

I honestly haven't read him any outside of twitter (@greggabe), but the twitter people that I do trust mock Greg a lot...more than anyone except for Zobel really.

He comes off very pompous to me
