Quote:Classic case of falling in love with measurables. Gabbert was a golden boy, prototypical size, rocket arm, and a good (although completely manufactured) 40 time. Gene and all the NFL analysts were so in love his measurables they ignored that he was very raw, awful pocket presence, looked stiff on the run, average to below average accuracy, couldn't read defenses well in game (oh but he is a master in the film room) oh and the small fact that he played in a spread happy offense and put up extremely pedestrian numbers. 
 

Gene Smith was a measurables guy, if you ever heard him on the radio he would talk about a guys measurables all day long. Honestly the failure of the entire measurables thing by Smith has me doubtful about the idea of using analytical analysis in football.
