Blaine Gabbert is not Plain Gabbert, formerly some anonymous backup QB. Had been Jax Jaguars starting QB couple seasons, originally NFL top prospect coming out of University of Missouri. Kind of reminds me of best of Alex Smith-clone very capable game manager, surprisingly athletic (like Alex), can make the deep throw but more comfortable working accurately underneath, reading defenses, just moving the chains (ditto Alex). May not be Niners ultimate answer at QB but they could have done whole lot worse and clear improvement over what they were getting at comatose QB position before the switch.
