Quote:Looking back at Gabbert now with all this hindsight I still think if you looked at each part of his game seperately you'd see a good QB each time. It's just that he could never bring all those parts together at the same time, in the same play.

 

All I know is leading up to that 2011 draft, and you watched Gabbert's footage from college and saw how unimpressive he looked combined with the kind of pedestrian production he put up in the same offense that Chase Daniel put up monster numbers in....that pretty much gave you all the red flags you needed. And if you needed another red flag with Gabbert, there was always his abysmal completion pct in pass attempts over 15 yards. IIRC it was one of the worst of that QB class heading into that draft. 

 

I remember posting about Gabbert prior to that draft that "the play simply never came close to matching the hype". If people think Bridgewater was unimpressive in college, Gabbert paled in comparison to him when you watched him play.
