Luke McCown immediately added life to a dormant Jaguars offense when he replaced Blaine Gabbert in the fourth quarter on Sunday.

And now he’ll go right back to the bench. Jack Del Rio announced after Sunday’s loss that Gabbert will remain the starter.

“Offensively, we just are struggling to generate enough productivity to have any fun,” Del Rio said via the Associated Press. “It’s tough to win in this league when you’re not scoring. . . . We are working hard at it, but we are just not making enough plays.”

Gabbert is the biggest problem. His accuracy and pocket presence are major issues that will be tough to correct.

We understand that the Jaguars may as well keep playing Gabbert this season, but that doesn’t mean they have to stick with him next season.
