Quote:Against the Lions the Jags had Blaine Gabbert at QB. Not even Calvin Johnson would look good with Gabbert at QB.

 

I agree with you to a large extent as Blaine Gabbert was much more of a liability as a QB than an asset as the Jaguars starting QB.  Yet,  Justin Blackmon did have well over 100 yards receiving in St. Louis last season with Gabbert at the helm.   

 

Until the game in Houston in mid to late November,  2012,    I recall there being plenty of concern from many Jaguars fans that Justin Blackmon might not demonstrate ability and production reflective of being pick # 5 in a draft.    Granted,  Chad Henne was his QB that day.   Henne might have made the difference in Blackmon turning the corner at that point in time.    I have great respect for the intangibles Henne brings to the table.   But by the following season,  Blackmon proved that he can have an impact in a game even with Gabbert behind Center.
