Quote:But when they cite measurables as one of the first reasoning for why he likes him....

 

While I agree that Gabbert and Bortles were different styles in college, I got the same underwhelming feeling when watching his play in college. 

 

Potential? Sure. But Gabbert also had the same sort of "potential" and a lot of it was based off of the measurables and chalk talk. 

 

Sorry but I honestly don't see similar players by watching their college tape.

 

Bortles actually had very good years in college, and WON the big-time games.  He lead his team on many comeback wins, he's clutch.

 

If Bortles plays in the NFL like he played in college, we have a pro-bowl QB.

 

Gabbert played in the NFL just like he played in college.  Scared and ineffectively.  

 

Take the chalk talk and interviews and measurables out of the picture.  You have 2 entirely different QBs.
