Too bad Lindley’s in Canada. He could assure a top draft choice.

I think gabbert will do just fine in achieving that goal

Get well soon Stanton. Time to see how well/bad Gabbert plays as the QB

 

[gmabel830]

Well, plenty of people were clamoring for this

Very interesting that Barkley is being brought back. Didn't he start with the Cardinals, then go to the Bears and next to the 49ers?

Gabbert>Stanton

Lol at people thinking Gabbert is a step down from Stanton. You guys are about to eat a heaping pile of crow. Stanton is absolute garbage. It will be interesting to see Arians justifies going back to Stanton after Gabbert thouroughly out plays him.

 

[Jetstream Green]

The Texans are screwed, Gabbert is going to have one of those one game career games and he will play... or they would never bring Barkley back and I honestly doubt that Stanton is that hurt not to play but Arians wants a proper excuse to try the other guy

It will be interesting to see how Gabbert plays not that I'm expecting wins.

I'm glad we are giving him a look rather than speculate how he would play if he was not given a chance.

This was inevitable - Stanton gets hurt easily and starting 3 games without injury is his ceiling. It's why he is the perfect Palmer backup (like one of those half sized spare tires) and why we should always have a QB3 with potential on the roster.

"Thoroughly" out plays him? Perhaps you're forgetting the reason why a Top-10 pick in 2011 is the 3rd string QB on his third team. It's not because he's been "thoroughly" outplaying guys like Stanton, et al. It's because he's a terrible QB, and his resume is evidence of this statement. If your prognostication is based on playing guys in the preseason who regularly deliver my Amazon packages, then I have some oceanfront property in Peoria I'd like to sell you at a 150% premium.

Even though he's not a good QB, I'm fine with Gabbert playing. If he plays well, cool. But his resume as a starting QB indicates that it'd be hard to trust him as a QB1 for any franchise. IMO, even if he does succeed and plays well the rest of this season, he's a career backup at best.

trusting gabbert at this point is a stretch, I agree..
however the fact that he has had a different offensive coordinator every year of his career has to make one wonder what he might be capable of if he had a few years in the same system...
I just hope that type of thinking does not keep SK from drafting a first round QB this year

I do find it funny that Matt Barkley is this seasons ryan Lindley.... must have just killed bercovici

if we don't figure out a way to get our QB of the future in this draft because of Blaine Gabbert, I'm going to... probably do nothing as far as the team is concerned, but bitch about it till the cows come home.

 

[overseascardfan]

Gabbert already has an obstacle to overcome, he'll have a back up LT protecting him with Humphries out for the rest of the year.

 

[PACardsFan]

We know with 100% certainty that Stanton sucks & is fragile. We think that Gabbert sucks, but not 100% sure because of all the different OC’s he’s had to play for. Let him play, so we can have a better idea what to expect. Personally, I think he’s much bettter than Stanton, but the bigger question is how much better. Can he be our back up next year??

 

[BillsCarnage]

Dude is brittle.

I don't know, he took quite a beating against Seattle. A sprained knee isn't exactly a brittle injury either.
Unlucky when it comes to injuries? I could buy that.

Veldheer is moving back to LT & Wetzel is going to RT.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Might as well see what we have in him. Like to get at least 3-4 games from him to see if he progresses.
