"Whether Blaine Gabbert turns out to be the next Peyton Manning, Ryan Leaf or somewhere in between, it's hard not to see the disconnect between the rookie quarterback's development and Jack Del Rio's future as the Jaguars head coach.

Del Rio made the decision to go with Gabbert this season, a choice likely to pay dividends in the future, but sure to result in growing pains for the Jaguars in 2011.

Yet Del Rio has a mandate from team owner Wayne Weaver to make the postseason this year or his job is in jeopardy. With Gabbert learning as he goes, and if Weaver is serious about his mandate, then Del Rio's future in Jacksonville looks as promising as Greece's banking stocks."
