Yeah but is it real or is it bull droppings?

You mean other than the fact that he was mediocre as **** in college? He was drafted because he was 6'5 220. That's about it.

I remember when we drafted him and I was like..."Why did we just draft that stupid bitch who threw the pick 6 to lose to the Hawkeyes in the insight bowl?" The only people who think it was a lack of development, are Mizzou homers. He has no downfield accuracy at all. And he's been afraid of the rush since Suh wrecked him in college.

So much for the idea this team should've hired Bruce Arians because he excelled at identifying and developing rookie QBs.

I predict they take Nassib in the 2nd.

Personally, I think Gabbert's downward spiral began with his college coaching. Pinkel's staff teaches all of their QBs to throw flat footed...they've all done it from Brad Smith to Franklin and Berkstresser. Throw in no snaps taken under center and their gimicky, goofy offense and his development never really got started.

Shame because he was a guy who was blessed physically with everything an NFL QB needs.

A pair of testicles would have helped him

I don't know how reliable that report is. Whether he's receiving interest or not, it's to the Chief's benefit that people think someone is interested unless the Chiefs have no interest in a trade themselves. If Jacksonville thinks someone is interested, they start worrying that maybe it's someone who wants to steal their guy from them so they might start considering a trade to make sure they get their guy. Suddenly, you have one team interested, even if no one was really interested in the first place.

The same thing goes for his comment about Geno Smith continuing to be a possibility.
