If that trend continues, GM's and coaches will be far more gunshy about taking a prospect in the first round that at any other time in NFL history, would have been rated as a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th rounder.

Those guys were fired because they were terrible GMs. Who are the marquee players on the Jaguars acquired by Gene Smith? One or two offensive linemen? MJD? Did he even draft MJD?
Gabbert wasn't the savior he needed. Gabbert needed some help around him like Matt Ryan got. No help came, so Gabbert sucked, which made the talentless team around him suck even more.
Those coaches and GMs deserve to get fired because they're awful at their jobs. Not because they took a risk on a QB.
