What if by some pure fable magic, Gabbert "gets it". Stands tall in the pocket and throws missiles on the field? Outplays our possibly 1st or 2nd round new QB? What would your reaction be?

 

I would think to myself. "What kind of divine being would condone such irony?". If he went to a different team and had that success, I would be convinced of Jacksonville's curse and would immediately quit watching the NFL. If he did it while still being here, I'd never make a judgement on a QB again. Ever.

I honestly think I have a better shot at winning 3 straight lotteries than Gabbert does of leading a team to a winning record.

I'm more of an eight foil hat guy, myself.

Well as long as you're fantasizing, can you make me a pro golfer?

Fable magic, as opposed to real magic

That just sounds impossible! But I guess stranger things have happened.

Easy there.  As Jedd Fisch candidly revealed Gabbert already gets it. It just hasn't transfered from practice to the game field.

 

Entering his fourth season as an NFL quarterback, Gabbert has plenty of playing time. Many NFL quarterbacks, including high draft picks, do nothing more than mop up in their first three seasons. Gabbert has not had the benefit of learning behind a solid veteran.The critics point out that he lost the starting job to Henne. It's the other way around. Henne was the veteran. 

 

In year one, the quarterback draftee learns the system. In year two, the quarterback draftee learns to make the specific plays within the system. Year three, the quarterback draftee learns to execute the fine details of the offense. Year fourth the quarterback draftee is now a solid veteran and is prepared as the starting quarterback within the system.

 

This isn't PlayStation. This isn't what you see is what you get. The development of a pro passer is much more fluid than some think. 

 

Success is predicated on a lot more than drafting a quarterback and plugging him in.

 

Before any quarterback can do what you are suggesting the Jaguars have to have an offensive line capable of carrying his weight all season.

 

Scouts are capable of expressing the eventuality of drafting a player without actually having to draft the player to prove it.

Gabbert might "get it" regarding all the book crap. Chalk talk. His problem is the game moves too fast for him, and he seems to fear contract. Rarely if ever steps up in the pocket. 

 

Those things have remained consistent throughout his career. I don't think either are changing at this point.

 

I'd keep him around next year if we keep 3 QB, thats about it.

Then I didn't just quote your post.

If you can name tin posters who wear ten foil hats I'll give you a +10.

Gabbert won't be on the roster next year...


QB 1- Manziel

QB 2- Henne

QB 3- Shaw

Shock the world

Gabbert won't be on the roster next year...


QB 1- Manziel

QB 2- Henne

QB 3- Shaw

Matt Scott and Ricky Stanzi may have something to say about that

Gabbert is going to look like a stud in training camp and in preseason.  When the real game matters he will get in his fetal duck and run position.  The guy does not have the heart, period. You can't coach that.

 

I have never seen a player fear contact like Gabbert become anything but camp fodder.
