Blaine "Chicken Scratch" Gabbert


Vagrant

Recommended Posts

Perhaps I should have been more specific. I thought it was hilarious that, as :16 were on the clock at the start of the play, that Gabbert did the chicken dance waiting for the snap to come to him. Lifting his leg and scratching at the dirt no less than eight times, costing him about :10 of play time, when he would have had time for 2 downs had he not done it.

For a rookie in awful conditions I thought he played pretty darn well given the various calls etc he had to face.

I think Cam did as well, but it's just that Cam's previous games make us think he played horrible.

Vagrant, I think you're confused - that was on the center. Gabbert was calling for the snap but the center didn't realize the clock was running so he didn't snap it. It should never have happened anyway, the clock should have been reset to where it was when the catch was made, then let it run, instead of running from where the replay crew decided to call a replay of it.

I think the weather actually helped Gabbert. It slowed down the pass rush an allowed there Run game to be more effective. Im not real sure what happened to Cam but it may have just been a bad game or the Rookie wall catching up.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
