Del Rio: Gabbert starting.

[Varking]

FL can't support the number of teams it has plain and simple. Too much diversity across the board from college to pro sports all jammed together.

Miami is a given....but over time I think either Tampa or Jacksonville will lose their teams.

Last season when we were a hot button for ticket sales it was pointed out as bad as we thought we were doing, Tampa Bay was worse.

I am not trying to pick on the Jags.....I just think FL has too many teams. Could be Tampa down the road and not Jacksonville....but regardless I think a team will eventually leave FL.

[Jbro]

I was showing you a fact, we broke the record for increase in season ticket sales.

So you guys now have 17,500 season ticket holders?

I agree completely but if it's the Jags, our owner wont let it happen for the forseeable future.

I mean there is a reason the Carolina Panthers are one of the most successful professional franchises.........despite most of the current fans being raised on other teams. Little competition around. Charlotte was just the perfect spot for a team. Sandwhich in in the middle of two states who really have nothing to support.

The Jags were the last in....so that is probably the only reason people assume first out.

Look, I pull for the Panthers now I just see why so much ignorance needs to be spread on the forums. People between this thread and the other Jaguar thread have said so many false things about them eventually I had to start chiming in. All of this crap is being spewed by fans of a team who is 0-2 and 2-14 last season. You would think hard times like that would make some of you more level headed and realistic.

Here is food for thought.

Gabbert = Clausen 2.0

Gabbert = Clausen 2.0

Gabbert is taller, more mobile, has a stronger arm, and won't get balls batted down at the line like Clausen. They are white and same hair color. Other than that there is no comparison.

[DaCityKats]

both have bad pocket awareness.

....there are some similar aspects IMO in regards to how they play the game. I think Gabbert is more of a dink and dunker.....and don't have the natural pocket awareness of someone like Newton. That great instinct in the pocket that you can't teach is huge IMO for a rookie QB thrust out to start early.

[monstercat]

Clearly, I'm glad we drafted Newton, but I don't really understand why people think that Gabbert will be so bad, especially if you're basing that opinion on the preseason. We should all have figured out by now that the preseason means next to nothing. Anyway, I'm much more worried about stopping their running game.

[DaCityKats]

yes mjd will get 25+ carries. and whoever the 2nd RB is will get 15.
