Gabbert, he's a fit for the Shanahan scheme. His strength is deep ball accuracy (big arm, nice accuracy, good touch), and Shanahan's offense asks the QB to read deep first, then to the intermediate, then to short.

Gabbert is coming from a system where he didn't have to make a lot of reads, if the deep ball was there he'd throw it. So he'll come in ready to hit on the deep stuff, and he seems bright enough to me to learn the rest of the progressions and reads.
