First thing gus should do is fire Fisch

Quote:Hey, maybe you're onto something here?

 

When you draft a quarterback, he will need to be developed. The facts are crystal-clear Gabbert never was appropriately groomed to be the starter.

 

The Jaguars drafted Gabbert with a decent plan to develop him. He was to sit for several seasons while David Garrard remained the veteran starting QB.

 

Everything was fine. Gabbert was actually so close to David that Blaine was driving a Garrard family vehicle.

 

Then the idiots Wayne Weaver, "Alibi" Jack Del Rio, and GM Gene Smith simultaneously seemed to filled with an evil spirit that manifested itself coincidentally at the same time they somehow came into possession of and reviewed Garrard's private medical information which stated he needed to have a disc in his back surgically repaired.

 

He was brought in after attending a corporate ticket drive function and told he was being cut. Apparently the Jaguars played a parlor trick on Garrard and had him sign an injury waiver stating he was healthy. David's agent claimed the team never informed David of the extent of his back condition. Garrard was actually announced at the ticket drive as the Jaguars' starting quarterback.

 

While the entire NFL world cried shame, the Gator-infested media glorified the disgusting act as something like 'a great move by the Jaguars to create additional cap space'.

 

Meanwhile, on defense free agency bust Aaron Kampmann had blown out his second knee, but was never placed on the IR. He patrolled the sideline each game of Gabbert's rookie season with unfettered access to his defensive team mates while collecting a full paycheck. Garrard visited his doctor and found out he needed disc surgery.

"At $500,000 per game, they knew he would be down 4-6 weeks. They didn't want to pay that bill," Garrard's agent, Al Irby, wrote in an e-mail to The Florida Times-Union. "Now you know the difference between a first-class organization like Indy, and a sorry organization like the Jags. Indy gave their QB a contract even though he couldn't play all season. ... David was told his back was fine. So he took them for their word.

 

That left Gabbert as an orphan. Not only was he thrown to the wolves, he was left to figure out what kind of franchise would do such a thing to their veteran signal-caller, and, if it happened to a great QB like Garrard, it could happen to him. 

 

We don't develop pro quarterbacks in Jacksonville, we kill them.

 

If I am Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel, or any of the other pro prospects at QB I might want to examine the John Elway story, particularly the part where he refused to report to the team that originally drafted him.
 

Your posts remind me of the old Charter By The Sea commercials.

 

If you don't get help at Charter. Please get help somewhere.
