Cardinals looking into acquiring Blaine Gabbert?

[AZCrazy]

Dysert vs Gabbert. The war is on.

Didn't gabbert have a surprisingly relatively good game against us? I'm not averse Ro kicking the tires.

Aside from the Browns, Gabbert has had the privilege to play for the worst teams in the NFL. Might be nice to give him a look and see what he can do with real coaching.

In 2015, against AZ, he was 25/36 318 yards 1 TD 1 INT. He actually looked competent that day.

RGIII at least had a good season
Gabbert is a mix between Derek Anderson and Ryan Lindley

You think Gabbert is that good?

That's because the Cards are prone to making obscure backup type players look like Hall of Famers. I mean, the year we went to the Super Bowl, Tavaris Jackson threw for 4 TD's against us. And let's not forget the game where Matt Cassel threw for 343 yards and 2 TD's in a blizzard. Hell Vince Young threw for almost 400 yards against us.

I'd take Gab over Drew from my perspective..

He looked competent but it was a lot of checkdowns from what I remember.

 

[Metcalf Rules]

Stanton is getting up there in years, too. Maybe Gabbert can be the backup of the future.

I was about to post some not-so-clever coughing or gagging gif, but then thought first and realized I'd rather see them sign Gabbert than keep Stanton, who has looked absolutely awful the last 2 years in his limited chances and in preseason. He's looked like the second coming of Derek Anderson, and nobody wants to relive that nightmare. But as someone pointed out, BA is unlikely to cut Stanton as he seems to be one of his man-crushes, like Amos Jones. Arrrrrrgh.

Gabbert is a good choice, bring him in and let him compete. I liked him better than Isis Keapernick.

Strange, but true. Teams should have been playing their backups every game and they would toast us. No adjustments were made to stop the backups from what they were doing.

On the other side of the ball when we put our backup in (Stanton) he was bad and the other teams DC would make adjustments and we know the results.

Gabbert > Stanton

Who is going to be NFL Draft 2017's version of Blaine Gabbert? Gabbert was picked #10 overall in 2011.

He is a Cardinal fan, so that is a positive.

That's, uh, not exactly a great QBotF pick.

Thoughts?

This again ?

We were "supposed" to have drafted this kid instead of Peterson, LOL.

I would assume this would be for backup duties, or 3rd string duties, or just be.......you know duty.

27 years old, not too bad.

1 td two picks. less than 200 yards in an october game last year

 

[JeffGollin]

I think we treat him like any other prospect:

Assess his strengths, weaknesses, progress, upside, downside. Determine what he might cost us in players or picks. Compare him side by side with the QB's we've got. Give him a fair shot at beating out Palmer, Stanton or Dysert for any of the 3 roster spots.

In other words, don't get ahead of ourselves - work the process and go from there.

Right now we're about to kick the tires of a slightly used Mercedes. Don't know totally what's under the hood. But "no kick it/no biscuit."

 

[overseascardfan]

Why not see if Brett Hundley is available? I mean is Gabbert better than taking a flier on a Dobbs or another late round QB?

It's a legitimate question. On paper, I'd rather go with Gabbert than Dodds because Blaine is more plug 'n play. Whether acquiring him would be a better move than drafting Dobbs depends on what you want him for.

I notice that Gabbert has some pro experience, having been in the NFL for 6 years (Thanks for correction BRR). But if you want to roll the dice on your QBOF and feel Dobbs has the upside to develop in 2 or 3 years, you go for it.

But if (as I suspect) you want to buy another year to locate and acquire your next starting QB, you might even consider keeping two backup QB's behind Palmer and going with Gabbert and Stanton (since there's no future Franchise QB on your roster anyway).

fyi he was drafted in 2011.

 

[MadCardDisease]

The last couple of years, the QBOF search for the Cardinals can be summed up as throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Logan Thomas, Matt Barkley, Zack Dysart, etc have all been brought in and given a chance to show what they got. I'm fine that that model for now. In a year or two if nothing sticks then they are going to have to get much more proactive in their QB search.

With that said I'm not optimistic Gabbert is the answer should the Cardinals sign him.

Pretty sure they're not bringing him in as "the answer". Moreso what you said...throwing crap at the wall and see what sticks. Can't hurt bringing someone in who has shown potential. Good camp body to challenge Stanton.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing to bring in a bunch guys and give them a shot to see if they can be the possible QBOF. I prefer this model vs wasting a high draft pick on an overrated college QB with major question marks. Also I didn't say the Cardinals think he is "the answer", I said I don't think he is the answer.

Not entirely sure what you're getting at here, I just think that Gabbert has had plenty of time to show what he is.

 

[BleedRed]

Personally I like the idea of kicking the tires on Gabbert. He was a five star recruit coming out of high school, was a top 10 draft pick after three yrs at Missouri, and he's only 27 years old. He's had some injuries and played for some bad teams, but his talent is obvious. Who knows what a year under Palmer, Arians, and Moore could do for him. Might just need the right situation. Kick the tires, bring him in, what do we have to lose?!
