Quote:Hats off to Gabbert, who is not as bad as most would make him out to be.  He came through in the end and redeemed himself.  Also, credit given to the Cards placekicker for the clutch winning kick.  Finally, kudos to the Cards for showing up ready to play.

Gabbert is EXACTLY who we thought he was. The minute he got touched, he started feeling phantom pressure and lost accuracy. However, when his line gave him lots of time, he was fine. Gabbert would probably be pretty good on a team with a really nice O-line. Our D just didn't get enough pressure, and Gabbert was comfortable enough to make the throws.

Knowing what I do about Gabbert, I would have been blitzing early and often, in man coverage. I would have told Fowler to feel free to get a couple penalties early on for late hits. Then I would have sat back and watch him unfold. But that's just me.
