Quote:While I agree with this for now, I think he's a kid who could benefit from being on this roster behind Henne for a season so he can be developed. There looks to be a lot of potential, and if we could get him later in the draft, that would give us an opportunity to use the picks in the first two rounds to address the pass rush, and possibly to bolster the offensive line.


If we draft a QB in the 1st or 2nd round, my concern is that there will be a sense of urgency in getting that guy on the field, and we'll end up in a situation where we're dealing with Gabbert 2.0. We don't need to draft another guy only to turn him into damaged goods.

Ive never bought into this idea that we ruined Gabbert. I think his skills show that he never would have made it anywhere as more than a backup.


Plenty of QBs start right away in bad situations. Cam Newton is one I can think of.


The best player should play regardless of experience/age. Imo. If it takes a few weeks or years to be better than Henne, so be it.
