Caldwell has wanted Bortles for a long time

#14

Quote:I don't like reading the above. You draft QB based on arm talent (accuracy/ ball placement) and how they command the position. 

 

The above sounds very similar to reasoning we used to draft Gabbert - measurables over QB ability. Ugh. 

 

 

I even remember people defending Gabbert by saying that despite him playing in Missouri that he was allegedly a better "pro style" prospect than most in that draft. 
 

Is your opinion on this QB literally changing after every article you read about someone else's OPINION?  Gotcha.

 

Bortles is the anti-Blaine gabbert under pressure.

 

Steps up into the pocket, moves very well, doesn't get scared, and can deliver the ball from the pocket or on the run.

 

Also, he has the clutch trait.  He has taken UCF with much less talent around him to a BCS bowl win.  He did a lot with less talent around him.
