word on Gabbert was always that he was extremely raw. So what do they do? Throw him right in there and expect him to be Elway.

Shit, even Elway wasn't Elway at first.

Gabbert is why, despite the immediate success of Luck, RG3, Wilson, etc. that I think they're still sort of the exception and not the rule. I expect some of those guys to regress (ala Newton) next year.

I'd take Gabbert for a mid-rounder. NOT as the SOLUTION, mind you, but as back-up fodder.

clarification: and by mid-rounder I mean more like a 4th or 5th.
