Gabbert never had a fair shake. We really dont know where Gabbert's ceiling was. He went through multiple OCs and he had JDR and Malarki (however you spell it) as HCs. I believe the young man has good talent and could have been an ok to good QB, maybe great if he would have sat his whole first year like we are trying to do with Bortles. He was said to be a project and not ready, but he was thrown into the fire and got burned due to him not being NFL ready. He never really had any stability through his tenure here with the franchise.

 

Now, you ask why did I support Gabbert over Henne? First, I knew Henne was garbage from his time in Miami. The guy was a pick 6 waiting to happen. Just like Gabbert should have never been drafted that high, Henne should have never been signed. Fans bashed sunshine for holding the ball too long, not climbing the pocket, not being able to audible to a compitent play, not being able to call out blocking assignments, and folding in the pocket. And what does Henne do now? All of those things. Brass claims that they are sitting BK5 to learn from Henne but wha tis he learning? If it was me, I would have kept Gabbert since you know he had an expiring contract and you could have easily parted ways with him after this season. Henne would hae been perfect trade bait for a decent TE, OL, or FS.
