Straight up, the level at which Blake Bortles was playing at late during the 2015 season was light years ahead of anything Gabbert ever did for the Jaguars. And no, Gabbert was NOT more accurate. Even last year Blake was more accurate.

Gabbert constantly had passes that were so far off track you could only shake your head... not like feet away ... but several yards away from a possible catch. And if Blaine threw deep, the pass was typically way overthrown as he had zero depth accuracy.  Blakes' accuracy might force a WR to track the ball and make an incredible move to come down with it, but at least he puts it close enough for that to happen.


EDIT - Err, I just noticed he said "Garrard" ... not "Gabbert."  Their names are too close together.

That's different. Garrard was far more accurate on the passes he threw well and had a MUCH better fade pass, but he was very limited. Garrard couldn't see the deep-middle very well connecting there only when guys were streaking wide open, so he had to either throw short-to-mid passes or mid-to-deep passes down the sideline... or run.  I'll give the short game to Garrard, but Bortles deep game is already more impressive when his arm is 100 percent.
