maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen a couple plays a game from Gabbert that make me think that given time and an offense that actually functions he could be a decent QB in this league. Admittedly I haven't seen more than highlights in the last 3 weeks, but the games I did watch were filled with drops and a terrible o-line that couldn't pass block for more than a second.

I am glad we took Cam over him but I think the jury is still out on Gabbert...

First off, his last name is Gabbert. And second, those in the media who hyped this kid while putting down the other QBs during the draft, knew this kid's track record.

That is why they didn't want anyone focusing too much attention on his college tapes.

What is so funny is, Cam, Dalton, Jake, and Ponder were all scrutinzed for their accuracy and footwork issues by the media. Cam was told over and over again, by those who faithfully back Blaine, that he needed to prove that he belong in the NFL. While Blaine was labeled as the most NFL ready QB out of the bunch by Mayock and the majority of the elite media. Yet all u would hear folks like Mayock claim was Blaine only problem was he had occasional "happy foot." REALLY????

So the bottomline is, if the media hypes an athlete without much to show for the hype, we must simply believe it and fault everyone around them before we fault them.

The benching was ridiculous. Jack did it simply so he could try to keep his job for another week.

Blaine Gabbert has no offensive line and no receivers.

Benching him was pointless and counter productive.

Wow...u're starting to sound as bad the some of the Panthers fans when it comes to accepting the fact that the Panthers' defense SUCKED.

I called in when Blaine got drafted that the media knew this kid wasn't worth a high pick and was going to throw everyone but the kid under the bus. And u REALLY wonder why 10 other teams passed him by.

Cam and the Panthers offense is putting up some serious numbers that should mean wins for them but their defense SUCK and everyone knows it. But that isn't stopping those who are quick to blame everyone but Blaine for his bad playing to point out any little fault that exist in Cam as the reason why the Panthers are 3-8. HYPROCRITS.

First off, it's hypocrites. And second, can you name a Jaguars WR that is worth a lick off the top of your head?

I don't see how Jaguarfan is so off base. Granted, I don't have any intimate knowledge of the Jaguars...

I did my homework on all of the rookie QBs in this year's draft and honestly I've always felt that Blaine should have NEVER been in the first half of the draft. I would have taken Cam, Jake, Dalton, Ponder, and even Mallett, with all of his so called "issues" over Blaine. Blaine lucked out because Andrew Luck stayed in college and he ended up with a very media friendly agent.

It's funny how Cam going number one meant that he had to prove himself but Blaine having a team reach up and get him at # 10 means that he's that good but need some time under his belt to prove himself.

My how we adjust our logic to suit the individual. Not u per-say...but I'm just saying.

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
