Does anyone else see a lot of Blake Bortles in this guy? (Big guy, strong character, willingness to take shots down the field...)

...


But drafting a player with similar faults to be Blake’s replacement?

The biggest difference is that Blake was never a natural passer and has learned on the fly how to throw like a pro. Rudolph strikes me as needing some mechanical work, but at the same time, he's a very natural passer. Rudolph would probably have a good 1 1/2 years to develop, and imagine what a natural passer like him might do after working with guys like House. 

I'd say Blake has "learned to throw like a pro about 60% of the time after 4 NFL seasons as a starter and extensive offseason work with a mechanics guru."  

So - the questions (to me) are: 
 Does Rudolph face a similar tough learning curve?
Can he get there quicker? 
Can he exceed what Blake has accomplished in a shorter span of time with the luxury of a year on the bench? 

(I have no clue to the answers of those questions as I've literally watched one cut-up of Rudolph. I thought he looked weak-armed and there were too many wobblers for my taste after watching Bortles for four years.)
