JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are turning to rookie
quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
Gabbert
Coach Jack Del Rio named Gabbert the starter Wednesday, switching signal
callers three days after Luke McCown threw four interceptions against the New
York Jets.
Del Rio met with Gabbert and McCown on Wednesday morning, then told other
players about the switch at a team meeting. Gabbert will start Sunday at
Carolina.
The transition was inevitable since the Jaguars selected Gabbert with the
10th pick in April's draft. Del Rio had hoped to take it slow with the former
Missouri standout, even planning to give him a year to watch and learn behind
David Garrard. But Garrard had his worst preseason as a starter and was
outplayed by McCown, a career backup.
Del Rio named McCown the starter five days before the season opener. But his
ninth career start was a debacle. He was picked off four times, and could
have thrown a couple more, and was sacked for a safety -- in just three
quarters.
Gabbert replaced McCown to start the fourth, and completed 5 of 6 passes for
52 yards in relief.
Gabbert threw 40 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions as a two-year starter
at Missouri. Because of the NFL lockout, he missed minicamp, organized team
activities and dozens of meetings with offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.
Nonetheless, he impressed coaches and teammates with his arm strength, pocket
presence, situational awareness and speed.
