Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Arizona Cardinals: Friday Fact or Fiction for Week 12
By Daniel Lago
Blaine Gabbert will throw a touchdown pass: FICTION
Blaine Gabbert is an awful quarterback.
Yes, he’s technically gotten better after leaving Jacksonville but it’s pretty easy to clear a bar that was firmly on the ground.
Gabbert continues to get chances on other teams because of his pedigree, despite the fact that he’s shown nothing to warrant consideration as anything more than a low end backup quarterback.
Gabbert has a big arm and looks the part, but he wilts at any sign of pressure and that’s not good news against this Jacksonville front 7.
The Jaguars lead the league in sacks and the Cardinals have a less than stellar offensive line. Gabbert looked serviceable last week before melting down in the second half as the pressure mounted.
With Jalen Ramsey locking down Larry Fitzgerald and not much help in the running game with an inconsistent Adrian Peterson, Gabbert is going to have to put the offense on his back and that’s a recipe for disaster.
He’s not going to throw for a touchdown. If he does, it’s going to be to a Jacksonville player.
