Criteria for a JaguarGator 9 video. 1. Is it interesting? Yes. 2. Is it informative. Yes. 3. Is it obscure. Yes. 4. Could the QB have a higher passer rating if he would've spiked the ball into the ground on every play? YOU BET YOUR A$$ YES!

He was 6' 7" but "was not going to see the field"? What an unintentionally hilarious turn of phrasing!

To be fair, Gilmer looks like a genius compared to almost every Lions coach after him. Lions fans would kill for a stretch of winning a whole 10 games out of 28 now.

Here's my 39.6 cents' worth: Misinterpretation/miscommunication. Gilmer said Gibbs' chances of making the team were slim; the team was going to try and get rid of him. Gilmer said that literally and meant to light a fire under Gibbs; didn't outright kick him off the team then and there. Gibbs took it figuratively as a prod meaning you're off the team.

@BainesMkII

That doesn't quite match the newspaper clip of Gilmer's account. The single sentence doesn't say anything about trying to motivate Gibbs, or that Gibbs had *any* chance of making the team. It simply says that Gilmer would have tried to place Gibbs with another team. My guess is that Gilmer had zero intentions for Gibbs to play for the Lions, and was indeed quite blunt in conveying that to Gibbs, but maybe figured he could still get something out of trading Gibbs (either not mentioning it at the time, or not stressing it enough while telling the guy just how much he wasn't wanted).

I wish it was possible to watch all your vids, then again I'm glad I'll never run out

Since it's semi-relevant to this video, here are some Milt Plum fun facts. His 1960 passer rating (110.4) marked an NFL single-season record (min. 125 attempts) all the way until Joe Montana broke it in 1989. No quarterback since he held the record for longer than 10 years (actively, Aaron Rodgers' 2011 season). That same 1960 season, Plum threw 16 TD passes before his first INT, an NFL record which held up until 2013 (Peyton Manning's 20 and Nick Foles' 19). Additionally, he owns the Browns franchise record for passer rating (min. 250 attempts). Yes, his career passer rating with the Browns is still better than that of Baker Mayfield, despite giving up 60 years of the league's passing progress. And yet, in his second season with the Lions (1963), he threw 12 interceptions in 77 pass attempts (15.8%). Nobody since (min. 75 pass attempts) has endured a season with a higher INT%. His overall career passer rating dropped from 84.9 to 80.2 just like that. Plum went 12-22-4 from 1963-67 as a starter with the Lions after starting with a 44-19-2 record (Browns/Lions), honestly derailing what could've been a Hall of Fame career. I'm sure this only exacerbates the misery of Lions football post-Bobby Layne.

Hans Heyer didn’t qualify for the only f1 race he entered. During the start, he snuck his car out onto the circuit. The officials only realized he was on the track when his gearbox gave up the ghost on lap six. He was disqualified as he brought his car into the pits to retire it. Hans Heyer is the only driver to receive a dnf, a disqualifications, and a dns in one race event.

It seems like both Gilmer and Gibbs were at fault here. Gilmer, as you said, needed to make it more clear that Gibbs was being released and do so immediately. Gibbs, for his part, should have taken advantage of the ambiguity and still show up for the Lions, knowing he was auditioning for other teams to be their quarterback. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made another video about the Lions front office making a premature, if not flat out stupid, pronouncement regarding trading Quarterback Greg Landry.

When I was watching Brown run off the field....It was like I was watching Jerry Maguire. "Im not gonna do...what everyone thinks I'm gonna do...and freak out man!!!...ok....who's comin with me"?

Well according to that article; the coach did say he was gonna try to place him on another team. So for what that’s worth. But on the other hand. I’ve seen Mike Shanahan (or how ever you spell it) keep telling James Davis to just keep working and so on. But in reality he was keeping him around as cannon fodder. And coaches do this.

In preseason 2002 RB Jason Brookins for the Packers was summoned to the coach's office. So he just packed up all his shit and drove off assuming that meant he was cut. Turns out they had just wanted to make some adjustments to his playbook. The two sides never reconciled and he was cut officially two days later.

I guess I'm surprised Dallas let him go. Even with Meredith and LeBaron well established as Cowboy QBs, shouldn't some coach have been tempted to switch this man to tight end or receiver? 6'7" with speed......like Harold Carmichael.

Big surprise that the Lions would be involved in this crap show some how or another. Martha sell the team for the love of God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!

Gilmer was an unmitigated ass who NEVER should’ve been hired to start with ! As for Gibbs, with that height and his ability to improve, he should’ve been put to studying under Plum as he was better than the 4th rounder from Vanderbilt. Several years working with Plum just might have produced an excellent qb for the lions heading into the 70’s
