Most of the time you'll have that period for the new guy to get acquainted with the surroundings and then start making changes.

Besides, it would be hard to sell to the fans that you are dropping Gabbert for a new shiny QB, when you didn't even give Gabbert a good chance. It might be a bit different if he were picked up in the 2nd and later rounds, but a high 1st round pick. Dunno..

Have you watched Gabbert play this year? He has some physical skills but he looks lost out there on anything other than the simplest pass plays.

Remember the the "deer-in-the-headlights" look that Patrick Ramsey used to have when Spurrier almost got him killed with some of those college patterns? Check out Gabbert next time you can...

Last week he was bad enough that Del Rio pulled him in the middle of the game. Knowing that the GM wanted Gabbert in the game and that the owner and the GM were "tight", he still pulled Gabbert. Del Rio is not a Hall of Fame coach by any means, but he is not a dunce either.
