The Blaine Gabbert

The Blaine Gabbert: As reported last night, Blaine Gabbert is now Jacksonville Jaguars starting quarterback. Jaguar went to Luke McCown to start the season, because they knew they could control the game while the offense Gabbert collected more part-time, but after listening to McCown threw four against the Jets in New York and was on the bench in favor of rookie had to move. The fact is that Jaguar was clearly limiting their offense, and customizes its quarterback. In reality, if that was the plan for the Jaguars that's what they should have done from the beginning. If they were going to limit and tailor an offense around a quarterback, why not the rookie, moving forward, we'll now get to watch the growth of a 21-year old rookie quarterback. We need to buckle up. Star-divide while I do believe Gabbert has the talent to be a top quarterback in the NFL, he's going to have his growing pains. He's not going to be perfect but he probably won't be atrocious either. I don't expect Gabbert to go out and throw for 400 yards a game like Cam Newton is doing, but I don't expect him to go out there and look totally inept either. The initial game plans for Gabbert are likely to be very run-centric as he gets a feel for the game. The playbook will slowly open up as Gabbert gets more comfortable in the offense. That being said, sooner than later I feel the Jaguars should open up the offense. Let Gabbert do what is comfortable, throw the ball from 3 + scale attack like the shotgun. He will be able to pass the ball in the center? Absolutely, but the modern NFL, is more than hunting, so it has become more friendly to the quarterback, who comes from a spread of transition to college. The team lack of effective weapons in the future of the game, but they have the tools to work with. When Marcedes Lewis is healthy, he's a great weapon in the passing game because he can line up anywhere and the defense can't pinpoint what he's doing. He can line up on the line of scrimmage and run/pass block, or run a route. That's Lewis' biggest asset, is the defense cannot single out what he's doing, he doesn't have a "tell". The team also has the "potential" of Zach Miller as a match up nightmare as a flex tight end. Mike Thomas is a good safety outlet, who's already been targeted in the passing game four times as much as the next receiver. Outside of that, the team leaves a lot to be desired however, which is why they'll need to line up wide and create natural spacing for their receivers to allow Gabbert room to work. If all else fails, then turn around and hand the ball to Maurice Jones-Drew. It will be fun to watch grow Gabbert, but just remember a few things as it grows: Gabbert is beginning to automatically launch the season; Gabbert will make mistakes, probably many of them. Gabbert will make mistakes. Seriously, it's a rookie. Be patient, as he plays. The Blaine Gabbert
