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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gabbert初先發V.S Cam! -- 作者 whj0530 (唐老師) 看板 Baseball 標題 [新聞] MLB》李本季第6場完封勝　費城人擊倒勇士時間 Tue Sep 6 21:42:00 2011 ───────────────────────────────────────
