Gabbert's first start comes vs. fellow first-rounder

Why to watch
We get the first meeting of the class of 2011 quarterbacks. The Jaguars, with the offense flailing under Luke McCown, have turned the team over to 10th overall pick Blaine Gabbert, who was taken nine picks after the Panthers took Cam Newton at No. 1.

Inside story
Newton might throw for 500 yards Sunday. Seriously. The Jags got torched by the Jets last week. Newton does not rattle and he does not flinch and the Jags are going to have a heck of a time handling Steve Smith. This could be Newton's first NFL win, after a couple of tough losses to start the year.
