If he gets killed behind no offensive line, no RBs, no receivers, it will be Joey Harrington/Jim Plunkett all over again and he may never recover from the loss of confidence. What's the right approach? Who knows. for Aaron Rodgers, it was sitting for three years, TFB one year....On the flip side, Cam Newton, Andy Dalton proved NFL ready from day one, Blaine Gabbert not so much. Was is them, coaching or supporting staff?

For Gabbert a lack of talent was definitely a factor as their best receiver was Jason Hill who they cut after firing Del Rio. The fact that he also gets scared at pressure doesn't help.
