Quote:When looking at stats just remember that when given longer than 2.6 seconds to throw Gabbert what is on the top third of QBs.


That should remind you how misleading they can be.

 

All that did was showed that when Gabbert didn't have to deal with pressure he could be acceptable. It's up to the GM to determine if a lot of a guy's failure is due to those around him or due to his inability to do things to avoid high failure situations.

 

Same with coordinators. You have to be able to figure out if a guy is creating success or simply benefiting from premier talent to work with.

 

In the case of Roman you have a guy that took a team with nothing to speak of at WR, a talent TE, a great RB, and an all time bust at QB on the level of Gabbert but worse due to being drafted #1, and made the offense a major success.

 

Did everything just suddenly come together under him, or does he really understand how to put people into position to contribute at their highest level as a group?
