Mid-tier QB comp to Wentz and Darnold; worse prospect than Herbert.
Blake BortlesQBNO
JJ Zachariason projects Blake Gortles as a mid-tier QB outcome rather than elite ceiling. Gortles is physically comped to Justin Herbert due to size, but Zachariason clarifies he is a much worse overall prospect than Herbert, making him a lower-priority target for early QB investment. Zachariason groups Gortles with Carson Wentz as comparable fantasy outcome profiles, conceptualizing him as a bigger version of Sam Darnold in his current system, implying limited upside. Best-case fantasy outcome comp is Jared Goff, who can put up strong weeks despite system limitations, though Zachariason expresses surprise Gortles would reach Goff's ceiling.
