Quote:SPREAD OPTION, He runs the spread option, he is not a pro style qb. Mark Brunell came from the pro style system at Washington, you can't even compare the two. 

 

You guys really don't understand the gap between the two offenses, its night and day...That is why Gabbert has struggled, you take away his initial reads, he panics and holds the ball too long. The rest is history

Gabbert struggles because he's not a good quarterback and was drafted on the basis that he looks the part.

 

A good quarterback at the base can adjust and that's primarily why it's something that's generally overlooked on most draft boards. That's the difference between players like Blaine Gabbert and players like Cam Newton.
