Quote:Gabbert is doing what he was drafted to do. Hold a clipboard and learn behind a expeiernced QB. Now the questions is, is he learning anything. According to MJD in his interview Thursday night on the set "everyone is getting better Blain is pushing Chad even harder". Everyone on this board said Gabbert needs to play the entire year to see what he can do, there is no way you can determine what he can do from 2.75 games. Even Brady has had 2 or more bad games this year.

 

I really don't think there's anything more we need to see from Blaine.  A change of scenery will do him wonders in trying to resurrect his career.  This team is moving in a different direction.  You're right that he SHOULD have had an opportunity to develop behind an experienced QB.  That didn't happen, and I think the damage done by that won't be undone here.

 

I think we've all heard the talk about how improved Gabbert looks in practice, but unfortunately, that has never actually translated into sustained, improved play when the lights are on.  So, when someone says he's really pushing Henne and showing improvement in practice, I take it with a grain of salt, especially when the number of reps he's getting in practices probably doesn't crack single digits.
