@Davjay1983 I agree with you, and as I said i’d be scared if I was Gabbert and I was standing in the pocket with no one open but the occasional dump pass. Your absolutely right in an all in Gabbert offense as last seasons playbook was made for Garrard and his strengths, not having an off season really hindered his development. I also believe having an offensive head coach with a group of coordinators that are all already on the same page can only help Gabbert grow and succeed. However you have to keep in mind that while MJD is the best player on the team, you can’t lean on him year after year with a 7-8 man box, especially when the league has evolved to favor the pass that much more. MJD should get the ball early and often but having a respectable passing game will make him even better. I’d like to see MJD play for as long as possible, but too much wear and tear could end his career much shorter than anyone would like. Thanks for commenting

Thoughts: Gabbert’s receivers did him NO favors. The entire offense did him no favors. The receivers couldn’t get open and in turn the blocking schemes broke down. Mularkey did an exceptional job of protecting Matt Ryan his rookie year, masking the weaker parts of his game, and playing to his strengths. All in all-Gabbert will be better this year if we get him more capable WRs, better protection, and lean on the forte of our offense-MJD. How much better is yet to be seen.
