Bradley Says Gabbert Will Remain Starter If Healthy

#78

Quote:This is karma for the way we treated David Garrard back in 2011.

 

Looking back, a lot of people were excited, because maybe it meant that Gabbert was so far ahead of schedule that he was able to unseat David. Little did we know... we were such fools!

 

I remember watching Gabbert's first few games and something didn't look right, but my logic always attributed it to "rookie ups and downs".
 

You're kidding, right? He wasn't mistreated.  He got paid a ton of money to be a mediocre QB, hauling in the largest contract in franchise history.

 

They released an injured player who never played another down in the league. 

 

They handled the Garrard situation in almost the exact same way they did the Leftwich release. 

 

I don't recall people thinking Gabbert was ahead of schedule.  If I recall correctly, Gabbert was the #2 after Garrard's release.  People were giddy to see McCown get in there and start.  After he laid an egg, Del Rio threw Gabbert to the wolves. 

 

There's no karma at play here.  Dumping Garrard was the right decision based on what's happened with him subsequently, and based upon how he played once his wallet started impeding his ability to be an effective starter. 


Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
