Jaguars GM: 'We need to build around' Gabbert

[whitney777]

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell recently told the Florida Times Union that he plans to "build around" Blaine Gabbert as Jacksonville's 2013 starter.
Caldwell noted that Gabbert, 23, is "the second-youngest quarterback in the NFL," and he anticipates a third-year leap. (Caldwell is more optimistic than we are.) "What were they saying about other quarterbacks after their second year?" Caldwell asked rhetorically. "We’re looking for improvement (in year three). We need to build around him. We’ll upgrade whenever we can upgrade." Added new coach Gus Bradley, "(Gabbert) has been very impressive so far in our conversations."

My response:" No you don't."

Yeah, I feel sorry for Jags fans if that's the future...and I'm a Texans fan!

It is what it is. One, there are no good QB's in the draft, two our line sucks, three this will be the third offense in three years Gabbert will be "learning", four his big WR held out at camp last year. As a Jags fan my bar isn't that high for Gabbert as he hasn't shown all that much, but I still have a smidge of hope that all the factors of 2 through 4 really have hindered his progress.
