Think of it this way.  One of Dave Caldwell's best moves as GM is trading Gabbert to SF for a 6th round pick.  This trade happened when he and Henne were the only QB's on the team.  That should tell you everything you need to know about him.

 

See post when we traded him: http://jungle.jaguars.com/index.php?/top...ers/page-1

 

I would rather have a 5'8", 140 lb. high school sophomore third string QB taking snaps than having to watch Gabbert again.  We have all taken time off in purgatory thanks to having to watch the Gabbert experiment for 3 years.

One of these years.............

Gabbert is awesome and you're all just haters.

 

Hello Ms Gabbert. I'm kind of surprised you still read/post on this MB considering all that has transpired with Blaine around here.

Double post

 

 You should have edited this out like the Jags did with Gabbert.

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

Gabbert is similar to Brady, except he throws too many interceptions, has a much lower completion percentage, is scared to stand in the pocket, has jittery feet, fumbles when he's tackled, is a poor team leader, can't learn the offense, gets confused by the defense, doesn't handle blitzes very well, isn't respected by his teammates, has a weak arm, doesn't learn from his mistakes, has bad breath and doesn't bathe often.

Otherwise, they're carbon copies of each other.

 

lol, well, they both do have a "b", an "r" and an "a" in their last names.

Whoops.. Quoted Drafted the wrong post. player. Posting Drafting fail.

 

 I think this sums up the Gabbert experiment here pretty good.

---

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

He looked nothing like the college QB he was since going into the NFL. Whether it's system, skill, or whatever the case he was NEVER productive. He would have a game now and then that would make you think he is getting it and could turn it around but NOPE. Not even the league's leading rusher could save him.

---

No pain, no gain.

Manuel isnt what i thought he would be but he is still way better than gabbert.


Gabbert is in all time bust territory at the QB position and thats not a joke.

It's difficult to exaggerate just how putrid he was here, or the degree of disappointment Jaguars fans felt watching him be so putrid for our team.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

I know Gabbert had a rough going in Jacksonville, but there's some thought among the Bills fans that he might be a QB we look at this coming season. The reason for this is our new OC Greg Roman worked with Gabbert in San Fran and apparently thinks highly of him. 

 

So what was Gabbert's deal in Jacksonville? No weapons on offense? Stunted development because he had to learn a couple different offensive systems? Injuries? Or he just sucked?

 

Just curious what the general consensus is about him. Thanks!

 

The story was that he looks great in practice, or anytime he gets to wear the red jersey.  When live bullets are flying, he went into a shell. 

 

Now mind you, we didn't give him great protection, but still getting hit really took a toll on him.  When he starts to get hit, he's a very different (read "bad") quarterback.

Skills on Paper - Poor On Field Performance = Gabbert

 

He had one middle of the road statistical game in Green Bay that was false hope (fools gold from other poster).  Some middle of the pack preseason games that would make a fan base starved for excitement overreact.  Really he was the wrong QB at the wrong time for the wrong organization.

 

In other words a disaster in waiting for your team.

Fans deserve better. Thanks for all the good times too many are in the past.

Gabbert had not guts.  The dude is afraid to get hit.  I've never seen a QB brace up in the pocket and just wait to get hit like he did.

 

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DUDE.   Buffalo is a tough town and he is the direct opposite of what your fanbase represents.

Gabbert had a great arm. Just had no balls, heart, and will to win. He was always scared in the pocket. Awful pocket awareness and presence. Like hard to watch.

This. He only really lacked guts, he had all the other tools.

I will say his arm is actually decent, but with nothing else going for him he has no chance for success in the NFL. Among his faults listed, probably his worst fault is a total inability to see downfield. He can see well enough for a short passing game, but he has no real clue what's going on downfield. And even with that arm of his, his inconsistency in regards to accuracy is very annoying. He'll throw passes so far off the mark that you just want to cringe.

Other tools? I'm trying to think what else he has. Besides a decent throwing arm where some of his passes do look sweet, I'll can think of three tools...


 

1. A very quick NFL-caliber release


 

2. A strong work ethic


 

3. He's fast when running in a straight line


 

Beyond this it's really tough to come up with any pluses.

I saw Blaine play a preseason game this year with the 49ers. He looked even worse than when he was a jaguar...

---

What I remember most about Blaine Gabbert is how AFRAID he was of getting hit.

 

He played like he was SCARED and as a result the results were SCARY BAD!

Go for it!  Good luck with that.

True.

 

It was basically a homer myth that "he has all the tools"

 

"big, smart, strong, athletic" was another common homer tune they liked to string together to prove a point.

Well those + what Jags02 mentioned basically *are* all the physical tools you need.  Gabbert's issues weren't his athleticism.  They were from the eyebrows up.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

Gabberts biggest problems were mental. A lot of people are overplaying his issues.

 

He was scared of being hit and played with fear being his primary motivation when on the field, which will get you nowhere.

 

He has the arm, size, athleticism, work ethic and intelligence to be a good NFL qb, but if he never gets over his fear of being hit, none of the rest will matter.

 

A lot of coaches are going to try and 'fix' him, because he has so much to offer if he could put it all together. I don't know if he has been working out, but I always thought he needed to add about 30 more pounds of muscle so maybe he would feel more comfortable taking a hit.

 

Instincts are hard to un-learn, and Gabberts instincts are to curl into a ball at the first sound of footsteps.

 

He would need to go to a team that is willing to invest heavily in its O-line, because it is going to take good protection before he can learn to trust his pocket again. Likely will never happen, but its certainly possible.
