This kind of hyperbole is where sports reporters make a mockery out of themselves.

I’ve never witnessed this on a Jaguar practice field in their existence, really?

I guess when Mark Brunell was in Jacksonville leading one of the best NFL offenses between 98-’01, Pete Prisco had his hands over his eyes. Get real.”

Brunell was a good player but think about this. He played with two Pro Bowl receivers (Smith/McCardell), two Pro Bowl tackles (Boselli/Searcy) and a Pro Bowl running back (Freddy T) and never had more than 20 TDs in a season. He was good but the talent he had around him made him better.

He is “unlike anything I’ve ever seen” in one Jacksonville practice, but he was average at Missouri. He’s Rob Johnson 2.0.
====================================

Uh, Redskin fan…i think you better be more concerned with Danny Weurffell 2.0, aka John Beck. You’re the last person who should be criticizing ANY quarterback.

Its just his decision making when the pass rush is coming that is under scrutiny. Many think he’d have challenged Andrew Luck for No. 1 overall had he returned to Missouri.

He seems to have good pocket pressence and when he moves out of the pocket, he zips it very accurately in between tight windows on his back foot. I can see where Prisco is coming from. But we still have to see what he’ll look like against real NFL competition. He is very promising, though. Maybe the best QB I’ve seen on this roster ever, too. Can’t wait to go to the scrimmage tonight.

Gabbert is the youngest player on the Jags and the youngest quarterback in the league.

The new trend to toss these Rookies in there is dumb! Really how well have these rookies played????
Ryan-atlanta- he has definitely regressed a bit, he’s solid but IMO he is hyped
Flacco-ravens- really has come down to earth, good but not great
Sanchez- jets- very unspectacular, if he didn’t have a solid run game and elite wr’s, he would be a trainwreck.
Bradford-Rams- love this guy, he will be a stud for years
McCoy-browns- he will end up being solid too,
Ponder- Vikings- a year behind Mcnabb is the best move, he could be an elite QB,
Gabbert too, needs to learn a yr, but could be a stud. garrard is good enough to carry this season. He is underrated.
Locker, newton, both are my least favorite , but could surprise me.

Is this yet ANOTHER typo? He “would” hesitate or he wouldn’t??? Saying he “would” means he wouldn’t make the switch. Is that really what Prisco said or another PFT typo from not proofreading?

————-
It’s clear from the 2011 draft that Blaine was our elite sports media pick for the “choosen QB” hype machine. Then you read the rest of the articles and walk away with a sense that they are more trying to sell us this kid than being honest about his future.

Not even Sam Bradford received that level of false hype from the elite sports media evven thou he was the choosen QB for the 2010 draft. I guess he really didn’t need it.

A lot of sports writers and some fans in Jacksonville are caught up in the glitz and glamour of Gabbert looking good in practices – lets see how its translates with the 1st team during preseason before anyone gets ahead of themselves!

Garrard has always experienced back problems but rarely does he allow him to keep him off the field – right now, Garrards experience is going to carry him as the starts of the Jaguars. You hear it a lot, the “speed” of the game is a lot for rookie and until he really gets used to it – the Jags arent going to throw him out there. Garrard isnt a terrible QB – he is a middle of the rd QB who needs the right pieces around him to be successful. IMO, the Jags have those pieces: MJD, M. Lewis (who has progressed every year since being drafted and had a breakout season in 2010); the WR position is full of question marks but its no secret the Jags use the running game to setup the passing game..

Last year could’ve been the Jags year to win the divison but their defense was just terrible – a lot of positive offseason moves instantly upgrades the Jags defense. The front 7, on paper, seem to be solid and the secondary, on paper, is definitly upgraded – let the season begin and lets see how this all plays out!

Gabbert has to give this team the best option and will pull fans in the seats. That team didn’t do enough in the offseason, and surrond ether player with the kind of talent that he needs.(Excluding MJD) Lewis is alright but how many “this is his break out year” are there going to be before they realize he’s just average, all that height and size and Garrard can’t get him the ball?

How’s it feel to be witnessing a REAL franchise QB being developed in Blaine Gabbert? While your cap circumventing, overspending on B-list free agents franchise continues it’s spell of loses, medicority and ZERO CHAMPIONSHIPS.

NFC East bottom dwellers since the beginning of time. scrubs.
