Quote:Gabbert never had a chance. He had no choice of where he was drafted.


Count the coordinators. Count the offenses. Count the head coaches. Count the sorry offensive line. Count the sorry receivers. Count the Gator fans back-stabbing him all over the place.


Sure, he's expected to play right away (yeah, right), but which offense was he supposed to learn?


He never had a chance after the day David Garrard was knifed in the back by Gene Smith.

He didn't have a chance here because he was never that good of a prospect to begin with. Gene Smith drafted him based on his measurables and supposed "high potential".


A well spoken, 6'4 240 lb, big arm QB prospect who scored 40-ish in his wonderlic. Yup, he must have amazing upside. At least that was what Gene Smith was thinking. Never mind that he didn't have good mechanics, poor footwork, no pocket awareness, underwhelming college production in a spread offense and never taken any snap from under center.


Yeah, he was drafted to a bad team, but why can't all the apologists just admit that he is a bust who happened to be drafted to a bad situation?


If he was any good, shouldn't he at least stand out from the crowd, even if the Jags were losing? Three straight years since he came to the league, he was considered the worst starting QB in each year.
