The truth of the matter is that none of us really know what Gabbert is capable of doing being a good line in Kelly's offense. We have seen Gabberts floor but how high is his ceiling? As much as Gabberts haters will have you believe otherwise, there is a chance that Gabbert could flourish under Chip Kelly.
Cant the same be said for pretty much any QB who hasn't played in Kelly's system?
Not really. All QB's aren't a fit for all systems. Kelly requires a cerebral, accurate, QB with respectable mobility. Some are more mobile, some are more accurate, some understand the game more than others. You don't need a rocket arm,and the ability to carry a team on your legs to function in Kelly's offense, but you do need a good balance of the three things I mentioned above.
What makes you think Gabbrt is "cerebral"?
I meant a complete grasp of the play book and able to read abd react to defenses. Gabbert does that. Not all QB's do All three. Most in the NFL do. There are definitely QB's that aren't a great fit for Kelly to run his offense the way he wants to tin it. You statement that all QBs could flourish in Kelly's system is inaccurate.
I haven't really seen evidence of Gabbert doing a great job reading defenses or mastering playbooks.
I didn't make the statement that all QBs could flourish in Kelly's system.
