Quote:Coaching doesn't really make or break a QB all that much.  Otherwise Jim the Great would have done something with Gabbert the goober.  


Anyway, 6 Quarters of football doesn't equal a trend.

 

It's like when people say "nine out of tend doctors ____", all they do is go and ask as many doctors as they can until they get the results they want.  And even if they do find 10 doctors, and 9 of them agree, that doesn't mean that 90% of doctors agree.  It's not a proper sample size.  


If we continue to see regression, then it'll be a trend.  6 Quarters isn't an ample sample size. 16 full quarters of play would be a more adequate sample size (1/4th of a season)

 

 

Quote:So Harbaugh is bad too? From what we've seen of Gabbert, he hasnt improved, one iota in SF

 

How do we know that Harbaugh won't do something with Gabbert?? 

 

Harbaugh has a proven track record. by the end of his first season, he had Alex Smith playing very well, and Smith himself was very Gabbert-esque before Harbaugh arrived. 

 

Fisch gets no benefit of the doubt as he has no track record of success in this realm.
