The Blaine Gabbert Era Begins

[EmpireWF]

Del Rio has made the announcement and McCown lasted less than 8 quarters.

 

[SHOGUN]

It was stupid to cut Garrard and even dumber to really expect anything out of McCown as a starter.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Jags fans will realize how much they should've appreciated David Garrard's mediocrity after a few years of Blaine Gabbert, I guarantee it.

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

Cam Newton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gabbert

Can't for Sunday and Direct TV will be installed tomorrow Sunday Ticket :fap:

 

[Leftwich]

The Sunshine Era beings.

Fuck off Kuzzy, Gabbert is gonna rape the NFL.

 

[EmpireWF]

Thanked not for your homerific Gabbert comment, but for the sunshine pic. Immediately came to mind when I first saw him take the field last week.

Garrard would never throw 4 interceptions in Week 2 of the season.

Anyways, I really hope Gabbert is the QB they have been searching for since Brunell left. Even if he struggles this year, it gives the fan base hope and excitement. Something it never had when Leftwich/Garrard/McCown was under center.

 

[Macken]

I just read that the jags havent named there qb for week 3

 

[NAHSTE]

Gabbert sucks. Del Rio sucks.

Sunshine pic ftw. How do you guys feel about Del Rio making it to 2012?

Nobody expected anything out of McCown, they expected the same meh play they got out of Garrard for a half decade. And that's what they got. The difference between the two is negligable.

Gabbert was taking over no matter what, cutting Garrard is a non issue and the most overblown story of the offseason. Just because someone starts for a long time doesn't mean he deserved it or is entitled to anything. Garrard was likely no better than probably half the backups in the league during his time as a starter. Its just that he got to play, and a lot of guys never get a chance.

10% chance depending on how well he can get the team to play in the second half of the season. He can fall back on having a rookie QB but he's been there for so long with so little success, ownership needs to take a step forward and bring in fresh blood.

Unless he can pull a rabbit out of his ass and get JAX into the playoffs he's as good as done. Jacksonville needs an offensive mind at the HC spot. Not a halfbaked defensive head coach or whatever. He is a lazy son of a bitch. There is no killer instinct in him at all. The Jaguars will get way ahead in the game and instead of easing off the gas he comes to a complete fucking stop and lets the other team back in the game. It's frustrating and its been that way since 2003. 8 fucking years i've dealt with his lackadaisical effort on game day. For the past 3 years i've wanted him gone and this will be the only season i hope we do poorly to shit can his ass. /rant

Yeah they will give us Dirk Koetter as our offensive minded head coach :facepalm: If we can Del Rio, I really want the Jags to go out and get Mike Pettine. I think he will be a great head coach in the NFL.

Not stupid to cut Garrard...you're never better than mediocre with him, so, might as well just let the guy go and see what you got with Gabbert.

The plan was to start him at some point this year, but probably after the bye. Since McCown sucks so bad, they bring in the kid to see what they got early.

No worries.

This confirms JDR is without a job next year and they can determine if Gabbert's got it, or not, or give the staff next year ample film to see if they like what he does.

Oh, and better draft pick...this team needs an infusion of higher end talent. There are some "good" role players on the team, but no studs. Need MOAR studs.

Not saying Garrard is a championship QB but he's a guy that won't turn it over and keep you in games. Mediocre may be enough to get into the playoffs this season. This franchise needs to get back to winning games and see the playoffs again. With David Garrard at the helm, I fully believe the Jags would be right there with the Texans at the end. Without him- they're a 6 win team, not selling tickets, and telling the team they threw in the towel before the season even started.

Now you're moving to Gabbert already, looks extremely raw, and most likely going to take his lumps way too early. Oh well, maybe the Jags can finish ahead of the Colts this year... maybe.

None of us saw Garrard in camp and if he truly was that bad, not a big deal. He wasn't going to last the season anyway since their plan was to give the reigns to the rook.

lolwut?

He's thrown 38 INTs in the past three seasons and fumbled the football 32 times over the same time frame.

It's pretty crazy how many people think so highly of Garrard.

The guy got beat out, fair & square, by LUKE MCCOWN for his starting job.

There isn't a single Jaguars fan on this site who misses the guy, that's really all anyone needs to know.
