Quote:You lost credibility the second you compared Bortles to Gabbert. The experts had questions about Blaine Gabbert and HIGHLY recommended that he sit for a least a year for him to even become a solid QB. No body pegged him as a franchise player outside of a few crazy Jags fans.

 

Bortles, on the other hand, is billed by many experts as a franchise QB with top 10 potential. From what I understand, his mechanics have already been re-tooled for the NFL and he has looked very good for a rookie so far.

 

Every player coming out of college has a least a few "fans" that claim the guy is nothing special. You are no different. You're not a professional scout, so just stop already.

 

You can't name 5 Jags players because they have an extremely young squad. It takes time to build a winner through the draft, but the teams that do usually end up with constant playoff appearances at the very least.

Bortles barely beat out Jeff Godfrey (who wasn't even a qb), until Godfrey quit the team. Nobody knew about bortles until the middle of the season last year. UCF could of easily lost 3 or 4 games last year if it wasn't for a little bit of luck. I'm not saying he's a bust, but he's not a "can't miss" prospect like Payton or Luck are/were. For the record, I have my doubts on tannehill too. I think Marcus Mariota is gonna be REAL good and would like us to draft him if we falter. Jmo
