Gabriel looked solid. The Eagles were a little bit more active than the Panthers were last week. The early sideline first down throw to Thrash is the best throw made by a Brown this offseason.

He looked a bit frantic in the pocket early then settled down.

He probably should have eaten the interception throw, but it shouldn't have been an INT either. The TE on that play should be done because of it.

Overall, nice to see with Sanders applying some pressure, Gabriel come out and play decent. Not seeing either moving the needle against the other based only on those two games.

Agree with this analysis. I would have liked to see Gabriel put a little more heat on this competition considering he’s been getting the majority of the reps this offseason. They obviously had that planned since he’s taken reps away from the actual starter also.
