00:00On Tuesday, the New York Giants announced that rookie Jackson Dart would replace Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback because Wilson gave them no choice.
00:08I would posit that this was the right thing to do. I would also posit that it's time for the Browns to do the same thing.
00:14Head coach Kevin Stefanski has that guy in rookie third-round pick Dylan Gabriel out of Oregon.
00:20In his first preseason, Gabriel completed 25 of 37 passes for 272 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a pass rated of 86.8.
00:30If you want to disregard those stats because it was the preseason and disregard the tape because it was the preseason,
00:36check out this eight-yard touchdown pass to rookie halfback Dylan Sampson against the Ravens in week two of the regular season.
00:42This was a simple choice route for Sampson out of the backfield, choice route meaning I go this way or that way depending on the coverage,
00:50but Gabriel made it special with the touch pass he threw over the heads of cornerback TJ Tampa and safety Reuben Lowry.
00:57Flacco's touch throws this season have not had the same touch, and this is where a lot of problems come.
01:03Those sideline throws, the fade throws, all these different throws you expect a quarterback to make, he's just not making.
01:09Dylan Gabriel would certainly go through the normal rookie strollers as a starter,
01:13but Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry have been saying all along, since the draft, how well Gabriel fits in Stefanski's ideal offense.
01:22Goodness knows it's time to test the theory because the Browns cannot keep wasting great defenses
01:26with offenses that can't even get out of the garage before the car crashes start to happen.
