Boom.  Exactly.  If people are comparing him to Gabbert they are blind or have a very short memory.  Gabbert had all the physical tools in the world.  His problem was between the ears.  He was a wuss.

This has become legendary but like a lot of legends, it's based mostly on a couple of instances that then got blown out of proportion. The reality is he did get happy feet because of the number of hits he took early on but was a pretty physically tough player. A bigger issue was his inconsistency reading defenses and getting confused, something that he and Lawrence have in common (so far). To his credit, Lawrence seems to be showing more mental toughness.
