Gilbert is almost 33 and has never landed anywhere in the NFL for long. He’s way overrated here because he made a few plays vs Pitts last year in a game where the opponent had little time to prepare for him. He started off that game pretty hot but as the game progressed, he became more ineffective.
I think the bar in Dallas is so low for many fans because we haven’t been that good in so long. If a guy has a good half, many fans think that guy’s good enough. I would rather see us find a younger guys with more upside. In the end, if we are depending on the backup a lot it probably means we aren’t having a good season anyway.
