Quote:Dude, when you consider who is throwing the ball to Blackmon, and the fact that Blackmon was literally the only person on the field yesterday that was really doing anything offensively(Besides Brown), Its pretty amazing he was able to put up 190 yards. When Blackmon gets a real QB and has Shorts and a capable RB/TE on the field all at the same time, he is going to be really freakin' awesome, even more so than he is now.

 

Consider this also, Any REAL QB wouldn't force the ball down blackmon's throat out of desperation. I think if brady would have started that game instead of henne, Blackmon would've had less yards on the account of brady spreading the ball better.

 

With that said, More time to throw for any QB will result in WR's getting more yards. So its a hard situation to call. Bottomline, He isn't deserving of the elite title until he has the following:

 

- A 1000 yard+ receiving season

- Beaten double coverages in back to back games

- Gone a whole offseason without off the field issues

- Stop dropping catches in the endzone

 

What if's are a waste of time. Gabbert is the definition of "What if". All that talent wasted due to cowardness in the pocket.
