    The Missourian: Gabbert's Missouri legacy will be made in the NFL

    There is a positive spin to Gabbert’s early exit — it’s a sign of the progress of the Missouri program. Jeremy Maclin was the first Gary Pinkel recruit to leave school early to be a first-round pick. Gabbert will be the second. Pepper in the successes of other Tigers in the NFL, and Missouri is looking like a program that could soon be an institution for developing NFL players.

    James Franklin or the younger Gabbert, Tyler, will start as the Tigers’ quarterback in 2011, hoping to be the player that Blaine was. That will be a tall task, even though Gabbert left things to be desired in his 26 games. Gabbert’s legacy for Missouri will be made in the NFL. Chase Daniel might be the most successful quarterback as a Missouri Tiger, but Blaine Gabbert will eventually put it all together, and he will become the most successful Missouri Tiger quarterback.

    It's hard to measure buzz with precision, but for a team ranked ninth it seems that nobody is talking about the Tigers. That might be because there is no signature player -- at Missouri, the system is the star -- but this team has shown a lot of heart and resilience, especially down the stretch of games. Mizzou trailed Georgetown by 18 points in the first half before rallying to send the game into overtime, where it lost by nine. The Tigers also beat a good Vanderbilt team in overtime and beat Illinois with a 14-2 run to end the game.
