Quote:Everything hasn't been Gabbert, but after seeing him against the Rams it's hard to imagine why anyone would be trying to stick up for him.

 

Yes, the team around him has been horrible, but he's fit in. He's not been the guy that is clearly better than everyone around him, he's just been a guy that contributed to that horribleness.

 

Even Manning wouldn't make this roster playoff level, but you'd clearly know if he were here that all the problems around him and that he's good from his play.

To be honest, the Broncos are starting some scrubs on that offensive line due to injuries. If he were the QB of this team, I can see Manning beating the cardinals, raiders, tacks twice, texans twice, rams, bills, browns, broncos and possibly one of the better teams to make us 9-7 or 10-6... which would most likely get us into the playoffs.

 

I think you're underestimating how good Manning is (he would make Cecil so much better and probably hold Blackmon accountable so he doesn't screw up).. He would keep so many drives alive that the defense would be fresher. He makes every position on this team (offense and defense) better.
