Not to pile on but I dont like the Gabbert comparison either. 

 

Gabbert is elite physically.  The height, the body size, the arm strength, the athleticism.  He has everything physically.  Smarts?  The guy is really smart and killed it on the wonderlic.  Why has he failed?  Because he is chicken little and doesnt do well in pressure situations.

 

Bortles isnt on the same level physically.  Doesnt have the arm.  And I dont think he is as mobile either(at least not as fast).  Although physically he may be stronger.  What Bortles has is the winning "it" factor.  He doesnt cower under pressure and can make plays that win games.  However his question is he good enough to do it in the NFL.  He isnt bad at anything but he isnt really elite at anything either.  He is just a good all around football player.  But is he maxed out in college?
