There's no doubt that Gabbert has a good arm. He's also pretty accurate when given adequate time. But he doesn't handle pressure well at all, and his decision making/progressions take an absolute nose dive when he gets even the tiniest bit of heat.
He always had happy feet in the pocket, even in college, and that's why I was so baffled when his stock starting exploding before the draft. It's not like the game is going to get slower at the next level.
I hoped that NFL-level coaching would benefit him, but it's pretty tough to teach poise.
