In his 7th season, ex-Cleveland Brown Garrett Gilbert finally gets his shot
Former Cleveland Browns third-string quarterback Garrett Gilbert, the NFL’s version of Crash Davis from Bull Durham, finally got a chance to start an NFL game for the Dallas Cowboys. The ultimate football vagabond, Gilbert has averaged less than a pass per NFL season in his eight-year career.
He looked very good in leading the pathetic Dallas Cowboys into battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who you will recall, pretty much clobbered our Cleveland Browns and first-string quarterback Baker Mayfield in a 38-7 shellacking back on October 18.
