Former Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey told SiriusXM NFL Radio Wednesday that if he were still in Jacksonville he'd go with Chad Henne over Blaine Gabbert at quarterback. The two passers are battling for the starting job this summer, with Gabbert believed to have the edge. "I think the jury is still out on Blaine. He's got a lot of growing up to do. He's still a young player mature-wise," Mularkey said. " ... I know the number of starts that [Henne's] had and I know how our guys responded when he came in against Houston last year and we should have beat Houston. Lost to them in overtime at their place. And I know that, at the time, players were drawn to him by his leadership ability. He reminds me a lot of Matt Ryan, being with Matt for four years, of walking in that huddle and calling a play and guys believing the play's going to work. That's what Chad's got going for him right now."
