I'm not against bringing in a guy outside the first with upside (FSU's quarterback for instance), but I don't see Blaine not taking back what's his through recovery, progression and just plain being a better quarterback than Henne. |
Please no. Manuel is really ssimilar to Gabbert and older. Keep developing Gabbert instead of drafting EJ. |
it was more of just a guy, for instance. i'm not all that concerned with who comes in, but it's become time for a backup plan. |
Ah. I really want Tyler Wilson. He's my favorite QB prospect, Star my favorite overall. I'd like to see both in teal.

This offseason will be similar to Seattle....Blaine/Henne will be "starters battling" and we will draft a guy to compete.

I like Tyler Wilson as much as any of 'top QB' guys in this draft, and if he fell to the 2nd round, i'd be all over it. But between his head injury history, the complete disaster his team has been this year, and the tendency to throw all kinds of bizarre forced passes, i'm not a fan of him where we're likely to be selecting in the 1st round, and even if we managed a trade down in the 1st really. To me, he looks like a Tony Romo type upside with less elusiveness...but i'd be okay with that if the pick value is right. It's hard to see him falling to the 2nd though...

That's what i want and hope for. Seems like the most reasonable approach given the situation. The question is...who is the 2nd/3rd round guy that we go after? There's at least a half-dozen potential candidates, the draft is an unpredictable beast, and everyone has their favourites. |

Tyler Wilson is similar to Jay Cutler or Farve in the sense that he is going to make some throws that you don't agree with, but you'll have to live with. People say he is doing poorly this year, but he still looks like the same QB before the season. His injuries are a concern, but no where close to that of Jarvis Jones.

| I'm not exactly a Blaine Gabbert supporter and definitely not a Henne fan either but I am happy to see the offense producing with Henne the only problem I have with the sitaution is that Mularkey has been singing Gabbert's praises and saying the problems on offense weren't strictly Blaines fault but the parts around him. He even took the job to develop him like he did with Matt Ryan and then Henne had a good statiscal game and then bye bye Gabbert. |

It's called coachspeak man. Mularkey realized he was going to lose his job so he made a move to distance himself from gene and win some games. And that's all there is too it.

| If Gabbert can stop being so conservative/cautious and stop being afraid to make a mistake I think he will beat out Henne. |

He's had this problem since college. He worked out of it some this season, but he has a long way to go. I was told that it was because he didn't have downfield weapons his senior year (and of course his rookie year), but seeing what Henne has done downfield with Shorts, Blackmon and Lewis, I can't accept that as a valid excuse anymore, even if I never really believed it.

Won't happen. You can't just shed that.
But I think Henne will start looking better. Played in some tough conditions today, had a bad game. We'll see what happens.

| And the the funny thing is, when Gabbert plays not to make mistakes.... He still makes mistakes.lol. Why be afraid, every QB makes a mistake now and again. I guess it's just been long season trying to defend the team here in Cajun Country, at least the Saints suck this year! |

Yeah. It's definitely an issue that has persisted. And it really does come across as being afraid to make a mistake.
I have to wonder though, it was a concern in the first place...but we really didn't put him in a good situation to overcome that right out of the gate. Not only did we throw him in there before he was really ready, but with DelRio and co. running the show, it really seemed as though he was encouraged to play as something of a 'game manager'. It always felt like he was pressured to avoid 'risky' throws.
We'll never know, but i do wonder how much worse we made the situation when it comes to Gabbert's fear of forcing the ball down field and into tight windows. |

Funny thing about Gabbert not taking any chances is, in camp, Mularkey preached to Gabbert about not forcing anything.

I hope the best for BG, but I don't know if he is going to make much out of himself.
I don't want the Jaguars to give up on him because history has shown that some guys develop slower than others and it would be horrible to see him go to another team and just become a Drew Brees 2.0.
