And I think they will but at least that option would be out there.

I think Gabbert should have stayed in school for his senior season to get the necessary coaching/experience that IMO would have given him the maturity to be an NFL QB. I don't think he was as bad as some might infer, but for sure he moments that were WTH even as a collegiate QB. |

Ultimately, I grow tired of people applying revisionism in their analysis. They see Gabbert as an abject disaster in the NFL, and so everything he did in college is discounted. To be honest, the kid screwed up in coming to Missouri. Harbaugh wanted him over Luck. If he goes to Stanford, he's probably on the cusp of being a really good NFL QB. His coaching sucked here, and no team has ever done more to ruin a QB than what Jacksonville did to him. It's a really shitty ordeal, and yeah, the end of the Iowa game sucked, but take that one play out and I don't know if I've ever seen a more impressive physical display from a Missouri QB. But he wasn't Chase, so he was never truly appreciated.

1) Missouri plays Alabama in the SECCG next week 2) Every other player on the team is the same, save for QB, and every coach is the same as exists right now You can drop any player into that spot: Smith, Daniel, Gabbert, or Franklin. Almost universally, people will put 2007 Chase Daniel in that game. I'd choose Gabbert. I'm not saying his career was better. He didn't win as many games, and his stats weren't as pretty, but I think there are important mitigating factors that are discounted post haste because it's easy to look at the gaudy stats and conflate that w/ unsurpassed excellency.

That's why I can't even entertain the possibility that Gabbert would have strung together a perfect season. Not with this nor any other team. He is prone to terrible lows. That's his nature. It's who he is as a QB. He's gun-shy, and he lacks the competitive instinct of Daniel. When I think of Chase, I think of a guy who hates to lose...at football, beer pong, or booger eating contests. With Gabbert? As soon as the game is over, I think his mind is on going hunting or fishing.

Those are essentially my feelings as well.
When Gabbert was good, he was incredible. But way too many things had to go right for him to be good. He simply got jittery way too easily and suddenly abandoned his progressions in favor of forcing balls or just flat taking sacks. I think Gabbert would get obliterated by Alabama. He just didn't have the head on his shoulders. I think it's a Yost problem as much as anything, but the fact remains that he just didn't do many of the little 'quarterback' things correctly.

Is anyone else getting tired of the way that MU is pretty much being disregarded in the Bowl picture? Almost every article treats MU as an afterthought....like we will have to settle for being Bowl pick #5 in the SEC chain, even after aTm even if we do beat them and say lose to Bama?
What would be sweet revenge and hard crow for all the prognosticators to swallow is if MU beats aTm and then wins the CCG. It would be great to flip off all those who have written us off... |

He's citing family concerns. Not sure what the deal is there... hadn't really been mentioned before, but it sounds like it might be a LD Washington situation... with the major difference of having a huge school that's close offering him a scholarship.
