What do you think the chances are that Blaine Gabbert will get a couple series to play every game? I think it is possible to have the same effect Tebow had his freshman year behind Chris Leak. If he isn't going to play at all, I would just rather see him redshirted. That way he could start in 2009 with 4 years of eligibility.

The coaches want gabbert to redshirt, however, he does not really want to, he wants the PT as most freshman do.  Here is how I see it.  When Daniel was a freshman, he got a few series' in, especially during that iowa state game, and it helped him a lot for his next year.  It all depends on what the coaches want and how the team shapes up for the year after daniel is gone.  If there are not much expectations after daniel is gone and the tigers are more worried about gabbert being the best he can be during his last years, they should RS him.  If they are more worried about not having a dropoff after daniel is gone, then give him PT.  Its all about what the coaches want to do after daniel is gone.

This guys looks like he is going to be awesome.  That said, there is no telling how he will end up.  He might get to practice this summer and be overwhelmed with the play book and more importantley the speed of the college game.  MU has a very good backup to Chase Daniel.  His name is Chase Patton.  I played football with this guy in Columbia.  He has a rocket arm and can move.  He is about 6'5 225 lbs.  He is alot like Gabbert.  If Daniel gets hurt Pinkel would rather use Patton since he is a senior.

That is a tough one. Blain looks like he will be a great starter when it is time. I don't see them sitting Daniels unless it is a blow out and he would come in to mop up. I think there best option is the redshirt and start him after Chase Daniels graduates. I think the Tigers will get a lot of interest from top highschool QB's so long as they keep there offense gunning the way it was last season.

Id rather see Blaine dalton start as a true freshmen next year instead of blaine. Blaine was benched a few games this year was never really hurt. his little brother started over him. this man is a camp creation sort of like hazelwood west lamark brown if anys herd of him.

thats after they benched him a game because he was getting tore up. they even tried making excuses saying he had no recievers im not saying he is terrible but for the mizzou style offense look at dalton from blue springs and tell me who he reminds you of.

I don't see Gabbert getting much PT if he doesn't redshirt. This season will start with Chase Daniel a strong Heisman hopeful and will get all the playing time he needs to make that happen. I don't feel putting Gabbert in games where we're up by 3 or 4 touchdowns is going to give him a true game feel. He'd probably get better competition in practice scrimmages against our D anyway. There shouldn't be any worries or mention of the word "dropoff" regardless of what happens with Gabbert. This kid will be ready when his time comes and he'll have the supporting cast to be immediately successful. With that said, Pinkel will make the right choice with him. He's not going to make another mistake after living the through the Tony Temple debacle this off-season. I'm sure he's giving this more thought than we are.

Honestly, I would love Gabbert to redshirt so he would have 4 years of eligibility but I could see him being handled like Daniel was when he was backing up Brad Smith as a freshman.  I could see him spelling Daniel for a series or two just to change things up like Florida did with Leak and Tebow but it would be better for him if Gabbert redshirted so he could start for 4 years.
