The Facts:
Gabbert’s first week of training camp has included impressive throws, nifty runs and deft decisions, making him look more like a regular than a rookie. It’s exactly what the Jaguars expected when they selected the former Missouri quarterback 10th overall in April’s NFL draft.

According to AP sports writer Mark Long, seeing Gabbert in person has only reinforced Jacksonville’s decision. After not being able to get on the field for three months because of the NFL lockout, Gabbert needed just a few days to dazzle coaches, teammates, front office personnel and fans. “He’s got a great skill set in terms of arm and size and speed, those things,” HC Jack Del Rio said Tuesday. “We think he’s got a bright upside. ..." The Jaguars expect to give Gabbert some work with the first-team offense during the preseason, but Del Rio said nothing he does will change the plan for the franchise’s QB of the future. Instead, Gabbert will watch and learn from starter David Garrard and third-stringer Luke McCown for at least a season.
