I dont think anyone can rightfully put a ceiling on him at this point. He played great vs a great defense. Sky is the limit.

His ceiling is Brady. His floor is DiNucci. Take it or leave it.

His floor is higher than what we saw in DiNucci.

possibly good QB3 , possibly 6th round trade potential that.
Gilbert is 29 years old and never done squat in this league.. time is out..

how many players have never gotten a chance due to bad coaching evaluations\decisions? we will never know, but we know its probably many.

Backup QB.
nothing wrong with it. But can be a good backup.

Gilbert made his first start in his 7th professional season. DiNucci made his in his 8th game as a rookie. Even Romo didn't make his debut until after 3 years of watching and learning.
Too early to draw any conclusions about DiNucci. The Cowboys had no business throwing him out there.

Age don’t matter much with quarterbacks. If he put together 3-4 games like he did against Pitts...someone would pay him 15M a year or more regardless of his age.
If he looks as good in practice as he did in that game, I have no problem him being QB2 next season. For a QB2, you need a guy that can come in and finish a game or start a game or two and be adequate. Typically if you are playing with your backup QB for long, your season is over(unless you’re in the NFCE).

What an epic blunder throwing him in there. I get the situation left them with limited options but they had to see his deficiencies in practice. If Gilbert starts the Philly game, I’m pretty confident we would be 4-6 right now and in the drivers seat in the division.

The ceiling on Gilbert with the offensive system and the OL that Dallas has can only be seen with a far more generous number of plays! 
Thus far, we've only seen a minute number of plays with GG, even though he looked so competent vs. the Steelers. I'd like to see more.
To be totally honest, I believe he's likely best utilized as a backup, although it takes much more exposure than he's had with Dallas to rate him.
