Quote:I never backed Gabbert no matter what, I just said that given everything we knew leading into this season the only sensible thing to do was start him. It's been posters such as yourself that had been convinced already that Henne had to start in spite of also being terrible that were off.

 

Like I said after the Rams game, I don't care if I never see Gabbert play again, but I certainly won't be relieved to see captain checkdown Chad in the game scoring between 6 and 12 points.

 

Watching him in the Rams game was sickening. He might turn it around one day like Alex Smith did, but right now it looks like he reached his plateau, and that plateau looks like its at career 3rd stringer just like Henne.

Not that we need to delve into this anymore but its clear now that Henne is better than Gabbert. They just threw Gabbert out there the first couple games to see if he had made progress... he didn't (obviously we all knew that).. now that Gabbert is healthy, they are going with the better QB. Simple elementary by dear Watson.
