They didn't like anybody in this year's QB class. Gabbert gets one more year. The idea is either he: a) makes significant progress and becomes our franchise guy because we built up other areas of the team, or b) he sucks again and we have all those pieces in place when we draft a new franchise QB next year. Obviously I'd prefer the first scenario, but realistically, I'm okay with them waiting a year to get a guy from a QB class that they think is significantly stronger.

I think Gabbert is going to suck just enough to secure Bridgewater at the #2 slot especially with Hunter suspended to start the season.

They did manage to pick up a QB that had received projections as high as the 3rd in Matt Scott for practically free. I really liked him, but his size and mechanics are a few years away(and whatever else caused him not to be drafted at all).
