Yes, but I think this also shows that Jaguar fans are learning from their mistakes, ie, not doomed to repeat them. 
 
I personally think if we got either Manziel or Bridgewater and they turned out to be busts, we could at least say, well we tried something completely new and it didn't work.
I feel if we get Bottles, a late-rising QB who benefited more from his combine than his collegiate career, and give him the franchise based more on potential than actual play, and then he's a bust, I fear we'll be looking back and thinking, did we just do the same thing over again that we did with Gabbert?
 
To be clear, you're right, no, he's not Gabbert. Every analogy breaks down somewhere. But his road to a top 10 draft pick is more similar than any QB I've personally seen since Gabbert. Honestly, Bottles may turn out to be one hell of a QB one day, but for JAg fans still licking their wounds after Blaine, buyers beware.
