Quote:It's not Bortles' talent compared to Gabbert that makes me see him as Gabbert 2.0, but the situation itself as Gabbert 2.0.

QB no one really mentioned or knew of. Didn't emerge into major top of the first draft conversations till well into the year. Impresses with pro days and combine and interviews. Everyone loves the size and strength and preach potential. All was similar with Gabbert. Despite most thinking it was a little bit of a reach for Gabbert, some had him rated as the top or second best QB based on the previously mentioned traits. And it was a consensus that the QB class was a weak one.

Pretty well matches this situation. Except the QB class, while fairly weak at the top, is thought to be deep.

I'm holding my breath and trusting in it though. So far, so good. I do indeed believe that if he starts early, it'll be because he earned it rather than had it handed to him for being the #3 pick.
