Quote:Not to get into an argument, but this line of thinking just doesn't make sense to me. Each of those players' development is a completely independent event. What connection would there be between the way that Manziel develops and the way Bortles develops? They are individual people with their own abilities and limitations.

 

This is akin to asking what if Jacksonville drafted you and I to be Quarterback. We drafted two so one of us has to work out, right?!?! Not really. If we're no good, we're no good. Just because we're in the same class together doesn't have a whole lot of -- logical -- connnection.

The line of thinking that matters is Gabbert has three more years of NFL experience than any of those would-be rookies. When you draft a quarterback like we drafted Gabbert, you have to be patient.

 

Aaron Rodgers might have looked equally terrible if he had been forced onto the field in the same manner as Gabbert was.

 

At least Gus knew when to get the hook. As long as Gus and Co. feel Blaine is making progress, beit in practice only, he still has much more NFL time logged.

 

If you draft a quarterback high in the next draft all it means is you don't know how to develop an NFL quarterback.
