| Two Rookies face off when the Jacksonville Jaguars Play the Carolina Panthers |
Unlike Newton, who was unsurprisingly anointed the Panthers' starter in training camp, fellow rookie and former University of Missouri gunslinger Blaine Gabbert ended the preseason as the No. 2 to the veteran Garrard on the Jacksonville depth chart at quarterback. Then, five days before the team's season opener, a 16-14 win over Tennessee, Garrard was released. Journeyman Luke McCown minded the store for two inglorious weeks once the regular season began, but had the rug pulled from under him Wednesday when Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio announced the apprenticeship was over and the youngster Gabbert was ready. Jacksonville averaged 9.5 points and 263 yards in two games -- 28th and 30th in the league, respectively -- under McCown, who threw for just 59 yards and was intercepted four times in last Sunday's 32-3 loss to the New York Jets. Gabbert threw for 3,186 yards and 16 touchdowns at Missouri in 2010, while running for 232 yards and five more scores. In 31 career college games, he compiled 6,822 yards -- the fourth-most in school history -- while his 40 touchdown passes are third among Tiger players and his career 132.59 efficiency rating places him second. For Del Rio, Sunday's game is an initial chance to validate the decision on Garrard. Newton has played that franchise role and more in two weeks as a pro, becoming the first player in NFL history with back-to-back 400-yard passing games to begin his career. As a result, his 854 pass yards are the most ever by a player in his first two games. This week it will be Gabbert who is attempting to grab the headlines from Newton as the Jags attempt to get something positive going on with their team.
