To be fair, back ups who play behind legit franchise QBs aren't going to get a lot of training camp or practice snaps and unless there's an injury, not a lot of game snaps either. He never really had an opportunity and wasn't good enough to start of guys like Brady, Stafford, Carr, Newton, and Mayfield.
He would serve well as a back up for a couple 2-3 games IMO. Nothing Earth shattering.
Probably. The list is short of QB's who suddenly panned out later in their careers. And if you spend too much time looking for that guy, you'll waste a ton of great young prospects. Hey, maybe Gilbert is Frank Reich or Jeff Hostetler. More than likely, however, his upside if Nick Foles, a good backup who always gets exposed when he plays too much.
If this wasn't his 7th year in the league, I'd be thinking of him as a possible starter. One thing for sure, we need to see more!!!
So you refuse to give him credit for his performance last Sunday against the league's current #1 and only undefeated team simply based on your assumption? To Hell with the eye test and what performance you saw?
And? Even when available, Martin has been playing injured and not fully healthy. When Martin missed time, McGovern played pretty good. This year's Oline has been a makeshift Oline all season, so every QB has pretty much had to play behind an inconsistent Oline.
The eye test solidifies this.
Garrett Gilbert looked much better with this same Cowboys Offense than what Andy Dalton & Ben DiNucci have this season, plus Cooper Rush the past several seasons.
Gilbert should be the starting QB for the next game, not Dalton. Obviously, Jerry and Stephen are favoring Dalton to start because he is costing them much more to be on the team.
If we're going according to performance and how they were able to carry the Offense, shouldn't Garrett Gilbert be starting?
What say you?
Stop.
Gilbert played against a much better opponent and Dline than what Dalton did.
Martin has been playing injured, and it has shown. Big difference than playing healthy. You stop with your BS.
no body said anything about Brady...solid would be a win,win.
Martin has been at about 60-70%. Not the old Zack Martin yet. McGovern looked pretty good the little he has played so far.
Yeah, no. Martin, since his return, has been a huge step up.
I was an All State Olineman in high school, so I know what to look for when observing Olinemen. You weren't.
one game!!! a single game!!! like I said, there is a reason this guy has been around for 7 years and just threw his first TD pass and was wasting away in AAF.....but hey, forget the past 7 year and all the teams and coaches who had him and saw him first hand. lets go with the one game eye test from the couch!!!
