He was a winner in that other league that recently folded. Spurrier gave him a chance and he did good, that is why spurrier said what he did.
The AGE thing isnt a big factor since he HASN'T BEEN PLAYING and getting injured and beat up like one who had been playing for say 8 years.
And you cant judge a guy based on one game lol.
LOL - Gilbert hasn't been injured and beat up because he has not been good enough to even make an active roster - therefore not playing at all - for say his 8 years in the league.
First NFL game action was at the end of the 2018 season - Gilbert was brought back on waivers after two Carolina Panthers were shut down...and a third QB ahead of him was injured. Yes- Gilbert's best performances was with the Apollos in the AAF's first and only season. But once back in the NFL (Browns for the 2019 season) he was back to his PS role.
Before his game v. the Steelers last November, Gilbert's accumulated NFL stats:
Carolina.- 1 game appearance - 3 attempts, 2 completions, 40 yds
Cleveland- 5 game appearances - 3 attempts, no completions.
I give the man props for maintaining an NFL career (and making good $$$$) approaching a decade. But Garrett Gilbert's body of work does not warrant him being the the Cowboys' backup QB for the 2021 season without competition from some others.

What does the word, "truce" mean to you? I told you I consider the discussion closed. Now you just carry on, WTH?
I called truce and then you commenced to calling me out for inaccurate information that wasn’t inaccurate. I was just stating that you misread my post. No biggie. We are on the same page. We want what is best for our Cowboys.

lol we they dont ! he serves no purpose really, but jerry needs him for PC's and the
illusion that we have a HC. He may be more of a puppet than JG was.

I never thought they could pick a HC worse than JG, but somehow they managed to do it ! and jerry heard bells! not sure what kind of bells though.

your not wrong, but your looking at it with standard football mentality.
It isnt his fault no team would let him play meaningful full games. it is hard to get out of the bkup roles, usually it only happens when
the starter and maybe the # 2 qb are both hurt.
like dak was very lucky in his situation, Brady took over for a injured bledsoe, kurt warner was a GG himself, he was even out of the league,
and he lucked out when green got a season ending injury, and he then got some games to show what he could do and the rest is history.

I am not saying GG is great or could be, I would just like to see him get a few games with the starters. Then he could be evaluated again.
Foles is another one, only got to play because wentz got hurt.

I think GG just hasnt had the good luck he needs to get some starts, and you say he is not good enough, but no one really knows that.

While it may be true that we both want what is best for our Cowboys, we may disagree with what that looks like. That's fine, everyone sees things a little differently. That's what makes talking about it fun. Sharing our own perspectives and learning from one another in the process.

Gotta admit... some pretty good looking highlights there. This dude can run too. Maybe not such a bad idea to bring him in and battle it out with GG.

Gilbert looked good when he played. Game wasn't too big for him.
