Jaguars GM: 'We need to build around' Gabbert
Blaine Gabbert - QB - Jacksonville Jaguars
Feb. 8, 2013 - 10:10 PM ET

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell recently told the Florida Times Union that he plans to "build around" Blaine Gabbert as Jacksonville's 2013 starter.

Caldwell noted that Gabbert, 23, is "the second-youngest quarterback in the NFL," and he anticipates a third-year leap. (Caldwell is more optimistic than we are.) "What were they saying about other quarterbacks after their second year?" Caldwell asked rhetorically. "We're looking for improvement (in year three). We need to build around him. We'll upgrade whenever we can upgrade." Added new coach Gus Bradley, "(Gabbert) has been very impressive so far in our conversations."
