Blaine Gabbert

- Start date
Jags are going to have to draft a stud QB soon. They could have tried to get Alex Smith when he became available.
Now the hard part is how to get fannies in the seats. Last century you couldn't find a seat anywhere. Then Coughlin & Brunell left town.

The seats will fill up when they start winning again.
Gabbert's gone at the end of the season. I think he'll make one or two more starts when he's healthy before Caldwell and Bradley decide they've seen enough. Henne will finish out the year and they'll get a quarterback during the offseason or through the draft.

Using Henne to finish the season is a mistake. Think about it: you know what Henne can provide. He's a low-end QB that's good for 6-7 wins if you have a good defense. Every now and then he might have a great game but there are too many crummy ones in between.
With Gabbert, it seems like the writing is on the wall, but it's still worth playing him. One of two things will happen. Either he'll continue sucking and help guarantee the Jags a top 2 pick, or he'll start playing well and be the QB they always hoped he would. That's a win/win. Playing Henne won't help you find the QB you want and it may knock you out of the top 2 picks.
They've intentionally avoided Freeman, Cassel, and Flynn to this point, who would all be upgrades on both Gabbert and Henne. They're aiming for next season because they're obviously tanking.
