And I urge you all (if you haven't already) check out Big Cat Country's website and look at their recent string of articles on Gabbert's development. All rings very true.

Youre better than me. I didnt find Garrad servicable. LOL I like middle of the road QB like Ben and Aaron. Their teams are pretty balance. Colts and Partiots are all offense and no defense, and the QB carries the team.

Quotes like this make me seriously consider your NFL IQ, DD.

Aaron who? Ben what? Colt offense how?

agreed NRW...."middle of the road QB like Aaron Rogers"....huh?

I usually don't disagree with you much Duval, but I gotta go with Tufsu on this one. I can't stand the Packers, but Aaron is definitely an elite QB, and right now, he's arguably the best QB. "Middle of the road" is just average, and Roethlisberger & Rodgers are above average. I know that's just your opinion; Like Pete Prisco says, you're entitled to your wrong opinion.

Guess which NFL starting rookie QB already has beaten the best (losing) QB so far on all five schedules; The answer is........(drum roll, preferably floor tom) Blaine Gabbert beating Joe Flacco. Lets check out the wins and losses and the opposing starting QB's that the five starting rookies had to face.

JAX's Blaine Gabbert (1-5) Win- Joe Flacco(BAL)
Losses- Andy Dalton(CIN), Cam Newton(CAR), Drew Brees(NO), Ben Roethlisberger(PIT) and Matt Schaub(HOU)

DEN's Tim Tebow (1-2) Win- Matt Moore(MIA)
Losses- Phillip Rivers(SD), and Matthew Stafford(DET)

CIN's Andy Dalton (4-2) Wins- Ryan Fitzpatrick(BUF), Blaine Gabbert(JAX), Curtis Painter(IND) and Tarvaris Jackson(SEA)
Losses- Kyle Orton(DEN), and Alex Smith(SF)

CAR's Cam Newton (2-6) Wins- Blaine Gabbert(JAX), and John Beck(WAS)
Losses- Matt Ryan(ATL), Drew Brees(NO), Kevin Colb(ARI), Aaron Rodgers(GB), Jay Cutler(CHI), and Christian Ponder(MIN)

MIN's Christian Ponder (1-1) Win- Cam Newton(CAR)
Loss- Aaron Rodgers(GB)

IMO the only win that almost rivals Gabbert's win over Flacco is Dalton's win over Fitzpatrick(IMO he's the real deal)
Look, I'm not gonna sit here, and act like Gabbert had a 300 yard passing game vs BAL, but a win is a win; I rather win with a 100 yard game, than lose with a spectacular 300 yard game. Take that for what it's worth.

Calling it Blaine Gabbert's "win" seems like a stretch to me. His stats were pedestrian at best including no TD's - he was more of a beneficiary. It's no more a Blaine "win" than a Brad Meester "win". In actuality, Blaine was somewhat of a handicap - working against the efforts of our defense (IMO). Ah, the QB gets all the glamor...

You're right about that. It's not uncommon for QB's to get too much of the blame during losses, and they sometimes are praised too much during wins. It's all about the QB.

Oh, I forgot to throw this in, lets not forget about Mojo's fumble, and Lewis's dropped TD.

Let's just call it Scobee's win....

^^^Hard to disagree with that. LOL

I think I choose the wrong wording. It seems I knew what I was saying and no one else did.

TO be honest, I dont think any QB will work for Jax until the coaching changes. Under Del Rio. Jax is very good at messing up at the QB position. At times, I actually think Leftwich and Garrad could have done better if they were coached properly. Gabbert has alot of potential and I hope WW makes the right decision in the off season and axe del rio and company before any more damage is done to Gabberts development. Its seem like this team has a QB curse ever since Del Rio has been coach.

BTW Duval, the former starting QB for the Jags name is David GarraRd; You constantly leave out the third "R" thus spelling "Garrad". I guess that you say, who cares, he's old news.

You know what I never noticed that! It just looks funny with 3 R's. LMAO
