Quote:That is the exact definition of QB fear right there.

 

The thing is, a lot of knowledgeable people hated Gabbert as a prospect. Those same people love Teddy.

Draft day, 4 teams with QB issues passed on Gabbert. After Gabbert was rated by many as the top rated prospect in the whole nation. Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee and Cleveland. All teams picking in the top 10. Gabbert plummeted on draft day, that should of been red flags everywhere.  Jaguars traded up to the tenth spot to get Gabbert. The experts did not like Gabbert, and it turned out, they were right. Everyone in the NFL knew something was wrong with Gabbert, except us. 

 

Gabbert was raw, and he never developed. He was rated high because of potential, his size, his smarts and his athletic ability. The guy is 6 ft 5 and has a cannon for an arm, along with a high IQ. He is a NFL scouts dream, but he was young, inexperienced, not very good stats in college, and is scared in the pocket. And thats what has haunted gabbert his whole career in the NFL, the phantom pressure in the pocket. It stinks for him that he came to a team with a horrible offense, but great QB overcome obstacles and lead their teams to victory. Gabbert is the complete opposite. He is a terrible player, and Gene Smith fell flat on his face with this and pretty much all of his drafting. And thats why we are what we are today.
