Quote:The Gabbert comparisons are ridiculously lazy. They are polar opposites.

But they are both 6'5" white QBs who came out early and unpolished. Not like there have been a million before those two, they must be similar, right?


In all seriousness though Bortles is head and shoulders above Blaine when he was drafted. Bortles is a lot more clutch in big games, has a knack for making plays on third down/in fourth qtr, and his pocket awareness and escapability are wayyyyyy better. Bortles performs better under pressure than any other QB in this class, analytics support that.


As others have said, he's the anti Blaine. Whether he becomes a Franchise guy or not is a totally different story, but I have a good amount of faith he will be productive for the Jags.
