I never would have thought.

Good for Gabbert.

What ticks me off is that we have all watched Stanton plod his way through mediocrity for years. It's hard to believe that a teams coaching staff would not recognize Gabberts ability sometime over the last 6 months and come to the conclusion he was better than Stanton. The same could be said for Ricky Seals-Jones.
Don't coaches see this and talk about it in staff meetings? Or is it once the preseason is over the roster is set unless there is an injury?

This board has been clamoring for Gabbert just by what we saw in preseason. How can an experienced staff not see it?

 

[Shaggy]

I think with Ricky, Gabbert and he have a connection as they have been probably playing together at practice this whole season. So even if RSJ was out there with Palmer and Stanton, they wouldn't know him as well as Gabbert does. So if Gabbert wasn't out there at the same time RSJ is, I bet we wouldn't know him like we do now.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Gabbert's skill set is much closer to Palmer than Stanton's was. Too bad didn't put her n on after Stanton's first game.

 

[DeAnna]

I like it. hopefully they'll design some plays that showcase his strengths. agree that he is more like carson but with more mobility.

This is the same coaching staff that reigned in David Johnson for most of his rookie year. I'm not surprised in the least.

This, exactly. It's crazy that some of the "armchair QB's" here on the board have more common sense then some of these coaches. It was plain to see that Gabbert was a better option than Stanton from the pre-season. If Stanton hadn't got "hurt", how long would BA have stuck with him? I think the egos of some of these coaches are their downfall.

 

[Stout]

While I don't want the team overreacting and naming him our QBOF, I'm glad they FINALLY realize Gabbert's a better option than Stanton. It still bothers me that they didn't in the first place. It's like Trump claiming to have just discovered that the world's not flat. Yeah, we figured that out a while ago lol

Coaching staff was quoted specifically saying they knew he was special but wanted to reign him in so he had time to figure things out.

Pretty sure it was on All or Nothing.

Coaches are dumb. Look how long it took to see Warner start. We probably make playoffs the year before our Superbowl of he actually started.

 

[redheat]

Only QB who could make that TD throw to Brown on our roster is gabbert.

I think with coaches it's a comfort zone because they have more to lose than fans, they can lose their job and a lot of times they need the situation to dictate the change even if they think a unknown is better. It's easier said than done to run a guy out there which you have never started before if you are not held responsible for the results. I think coaches as a whole treat guys not much different than Arians when they have other guys they have been familiar with for years, which makes it hard for them to have the cajones to change up till they can latch on to some excuse to justify the move due to a conservative nature which most have midway into the season. I still do not buy the whole Stanton is hurt enough where he could not have played the position of QB, the injury just seemingly became worse because Arians needed that to validate what he really wanted to do in the first place

some teams also have a simpler system... tough to throw a new guy out there when you arent fully sure he has the mental part of the game down...generally experience + system knowledge= safer bet... which is why we keep seeing stanton...... but sometimes the talent just trumps the experience and system knowledge...such is the case between gabs and stanton IMO... it was obvious from his first series in preseason that gabbert is head and shoulders above stanton in talent.
I think when it was between CJ and DJ the coaches screwed the pooch... there were snaps to give DJ,...even if it were at WR or just giving CJ a breather

 

[splitsecond]

We can all grip about this not happening sooner, but we do have to at lest recognize that BA has finally - FINALLY - put skill over loyalty. Let's hope it pays off.

 

[Cardiac]

Gabbert has had seven seasons of so so to crappy QB play. BA's Offense is complicated and takes time to learn. Stanton knows the Offense so well he puts together a report each week for Palmer to help with the game planning. Stanton is fearless and is a HARD worker. So yes he deserved to be the next man up and we will never know if BA would have made the move to Gabbert if Stanton didn't get hurt.

I recall countless posters wanting Skelton or Leenart or Hall or........ to replace the current starter and when it did happen it was a disaster. We seem to forget our bad thoughts and claim ourselves smarter than the coachers when one plays out in our favor.

Last year DJ was still making mistakes (said so himself) but BA was an idiot for not giving him more snaps during his rookie year when CJ was killing it. BA did give DJ reps that rookie year where he had great success so maybe it wasn't all DJ walks on water and BA drools on himself, just saying.

I agree, but Nickedglass has pulled an NFL salary for what? 3 years?
Did we have a QB on crutches building up a rapport with Troy I didn't hear about?

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Palmer, and Stanton can both make that throw.

Now the throw to DJ Foster? Gabbert may be the only QB who could make that throw.


And yes, I am part of the crew that was fine starting Stanton, and fine starting Stanton if he didn't get hurt.

......I am also part of the crew that wanted to go with Matt Leinart all those years back, over Warner, so there is that.....


And it should be said, I am good with Gabbert starting now for the team, as well.

 

[PACardsFan]

I recall how pathetic Palmer was his first 4-5 games in BA’s offense. He was throwing 2-3 ugly picks consistently. As much as BA had convinced us that Stanton knew this offense, I would have been fine if we benched CP. It wasn’t until Palmer got hurt, that it became painfully obvious that DS was awful. If we didn’t have the D at that time, we would have lost EVERY start he made.

Being a hard worker and knowing the playbook doesn't guarantee you a single thing, especially if you aren't very good. There's no such thing as 'deserve' in the NFL.

All 3 of our QB's can make that throw & all have. That one was a little short btw. Jaron had to hold up & wait for it.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

It's no surprise Arians went with Stanton at the time, and he should have. Stanton had been the #2 all year, knows the offense, and had shown he was a game manager that could win/not lose games as the backup.

With Gabbert you're getting a more talented QB without question but you're also going to get plays like the fumble that CC ran in for a score.

let hope he LEARNS from it. At least we are defering the damn kick-offs now - we started that against seattle - I almost fainted. Didn't think the old dog had it in him.

timing comes with reps.

Brown would've needed to be in the end zone already, to catch a pass like that from Stanton.

Also, as BA mentioned, Gabberts ability to sense CC from behind and not **** his arm all the way back, and still make that throw was special.
