Quote:The pass protection wasnt really that bad today, all Gabbert had to do was step into the pocket on a lot of those sacks

 

a lot of people were blaming Shorts for 2 of those ints, looking at the replay that 2nd one was almost picked by Davis bounced up Shorts couldnt get too it and picked 6 for Butler, the 1st INT was a great defensive play Shorts tried to make the catch but the ball was too far inside, those were on Gabbert more then Shorts.

 

The pass protection was better than in any of the other games this season overall. Yes, there were a few times that guys got beat, but nowhere near as bad as it was.

 

Gabbert convinced me today, he doesn't have what it takes to be a top level NFL QB. After throwing an INT he stopped trying to push the ball down the field and started back with the dink and dunk crap until garbage time.

 

The first INT was the right play and the right throw. Unfortunately CS3 doesn't have superb hands. My guess is if Gabbert consistently makes the same throw to Blackmon it'll be completed.
