Tristan Gebbia



Just about to post the same thing as I saw on my twitter feed. This is part of the culture change Frost is pushing....team before "me" and a focus on building a brotherhood.

 
I don't think Frost is wrong or anything for wanting to have the QB race settled. I don't think he's wrong for picking AM.

I just think the idea that Gebbia could put in any more "work" and still win the job is just flat out wrong. For Gebbia to win the job at this point, AM would need to fail or to be injured - work and effort on Gebbias part has nothing to do with that.

But all things being equal, Martinez was going to win out as he is their guy.

There may be some modicum of truth to this. I argued most of fall camp that TG needed to win the job convincingly if he was going to get the nod. Otherwise, I felt AM would win a tiebreaker as 'their guy.'

That said, I fully believe the coaches when they say this was a close race that came down to the end. They said that would be a possibility and more impartial observers corroborated what Frost and the coaching staff were seeing.

Oh totally. 

Which is likely a giant testament to how well Gebbia actually did in camp. 

 
Some of the takes on here are terrible. Gebbia is talented and deserves to start somewhere but it was never going to be here. He took his chance to battle it out but he was never going to earn the starting job here once Martinez secured it. He isn't ideal for this offense and there are more ideal guys coming into the system. If he waited he is just delaying the inevitable and losing time. He has NFL talent, he should give it a shot. If the ball was in your court and you saw the writing on the wall you would do whats best for you. Brotherhood is a great concept, but only when its working in everyones best interest. There is something to be said for sacrafice but at the same time people need to do whats best for themselves with integrity. Best of luck to Tristian, I hope he can make the most of his next opportunity
