Quote:Gabbert could translate it to the field. He was a smart and dedicated QB. His problems were linked to confidence in the face of pressure, which is something that can't be coached.

I'm sure, while watching film of games, he saw that he lacked confidence and was told and coached that... I've even argued, with several posters on here, about the fact that he lacked confidence or was scared in the face of pressure but that was not his only flaw... he had several others too... he didn't/wouldn't trust his WR's often enough... they had to be wide open or he would check down 95% of the time... he did make several good throws to Shorts and others but not enough to keep his job... I don't think he could read a defense good enough to check out of certain plays...he had that freedom under this coaching staff unlike the other staffs he played under... you can be a smart and dedicated QB all you need to be in the film room but he never let it carry over to where it counts the most... on the football field...
