Blaine Gabbert Starting Week 3?

There really wasn’t anything positive to come out of the Jaguars 32-3 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday other than they know Luke McCown isn’t their quarterback of the future.

ESPN’s Paul Kuharskyย provided a little perspective regarding the teamsย inept offense.

That helped produce the 0.4 QBR, which means 99.6 percent of quarterback games are better than that one was. In fact, McCownโ€™s score was the third-lowest QBR recorded by any quarterback in a single game (min. 20 plays) since 2008 — a stretch of more than 1,500 qualifying games.”

McCown’s game wasn’t just bad but a terribleย performanceย that will force his coach toย reconsiderย his descision to cut David Garrard andย anoint McCown as the teams starter. Next logic move is for Del Rio to turn to Blaine Gabbert.

โ€œMy answer is weโ€™ll discuss that as a staff,โ€ Del Rio said. โ€œWhat I can tell you now is I made the decision in this ballgame to let Blaine [Gabbert] play and let him get a little experience. Weโ€™ll go from here.โ€

Gene Frenette of Jacksonville.comย makes a pretty good case for Gabbert taking over the starting job.

But when itโ€™s inevitable that the future franchise quarterback is going to play, and other rookies like the Carolina Panthersโ€™ Cam Newton and Cincinnati Bengalsโ€™ Andy Dalton are performing well, how much longer should Gabbert wait for the Jaguars to give him the keys?”
