Blaine Gabbert

I liked how Gabbert seemed to know where the WR's were, and went through his progressions really nicely. The deer stepped away from the headlights finally.

I have been a harsh critic of gabbert and wondered why we didn't get a #2. Well, somehow, someway, Gabbert got his mojo back , altho, Antix has it right, to wait until next PS game to be sure. But all of a sudden, we went from no #2, to a guy who looked comfortable back there, and that is a major league relief. Kudos to JT, the entire OC/HC/QB coaching staffs to getting Gabs to where he needs to be if he is to be our #2. I sure didn't see it, but no question, somebody has worked miracles with him. Kudos to gabs too, as he looks totally different this. A welcome and necessary improvement.

Coaching and scheme and a HC who publicly stated he believes in you can go a long ways!

To see this marked a turnaround, kinda like he looked in college, is fantastic...ok, wonderful. But he sure as heck didn't get it under last HC...aka, the inappropriately named QB whisperer. He got it under JT and Logan and Geep. That right there tells a lot of folks who were down on JT after one 1st time interview...who claimed he was a dummy, not the first choice, and so on. Well, as the story unfolds, somebody ...JT or maybe all three got blaine straightened out pretty quick...when he was just off the rails under harbs. Maybe not a big thing, but it is the idea, of going forward, overall, that I see and makes me feel really good about the team, but moreso about the new guys we got at OC/HC/QB coach, as well as all the other coaches. That was a question for me, and one reason I was so excited about the first PS game.

How could anybody see that game and not come away pleased? Sure DBs need work, but man, did JT ever get on OL and ZBS, DL with the goal line stand(9 plays worth), Pinion, Hayne, Purcell, plus 4 keeper TEs, a burner in Torrey, and of course, getting gabs on the right track. I like the way this team is being coached and brought along. All good 1 PS game in. No, not perfect, but definitely good with 8 of the 9 question marks for me answered in one game. Can't beat that.

I think it's more of a coincident than what the coaching staff instilled in Gabbert. It usually takes 1 offseason for FA qb to acclimated to the new team offense. Unless he's a wily vet. I think this is more on Gabbert working his tail off to rejuvenate his career. Going into last year he looked bad. But I never thought that he would stay that bad. It was just being with a new team offense. You can see he has talent coming out of college and into the NFL. His talent is still there. Being out of Jacksonville with less pressure, and more time to work on the offense will get him back to starter material. I feel really good about Gabbert backing up Kaep. At some point we may have two qb capable of starting.

I'm not for qb controversy. The more talent we have under center the better though.

One can hope.

I rewatched the Texans game. And the novice view was that Gabbert was half decent.

Maybe sub Kap for him if we want a downfield pass play

He has the rest of preseason to completely change my opinion BUT he sure made an excellent beginning in the 1st game.

Well, it wouldn't be so bad if we give Gabby some time with the sarters... let see what he can do.. I mean, silently, give him the same 10 to 12 passing plays that Kaep got as a starter.. sub him in the 2nd, with the same starting players, and see what Gabby can do..

Agree

I'm so happy we stuck with Gabbert. He looks like a fantastic backup at the moment. I wonder how he'd look if he had Kap's o-line play.
