Panthers QB Garrett Gilbert


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Panthers free agent Garrett Gilbert looked pretty darn good in rookie camp. Kid is 6'2 230, pretty mobile, nice arm. 

I feel like he could be worth stashing on the practice squad. DA won't be around forever.

Also, notice Hall in hot pursuit.

 Let's make some assumptions when we discuss OTAs and parts of camp where the team is not wearing full pads or engaging in full-contact activities:

1. All participants are not wearing full protective padding and any comment about a player's ability in game simulations is based on the knowledge that eventually, if they are to help the professional football win games, they will do so in pads playing against a fully-padded team from another city.

2.  These players have worn pads before and been successful wearing said pads, evidence by the fact that their invitations to the activity is based on fully-padded performance and not partially-padded performance in simulated conditions.

3. Should said pads be removed in activities designed to evaluate talent and prepare individuals for padded activities, that any comments made about the quality of performance is made with the understanding that the participant and recipient of those comments, direct or indirect in nature, are made with the full knowledge and understanding that protective padding to some degree is amiss.

I feel like I'm signing some sort of waiver. Where's the tiny print bruh?!

The fine print (illegible here) reads:  "Don't make the dumbass comment, "But he is not in pads" or "wait until they put the pads on" as if it is insight we need to grasp the enormity of the situation. Nobody reacts to a comment like that with, "By golly, you know he's right.  They aren't wearing pads and I was foolish for making a statement about his football ability when the man is obviously padless." We know they are not wearing pads, Columbus.

I'm fine if he turns out to be a keeper, but he's been signed and released by 4 teams since he was a 6th round pick in '14. He was a 5 star prospect coming out of high school, but he sure hasn't lived up to that rating. I can't find any info on his weaknesses with a quick search, but he obviously has some.

Since we've brought in more special teams players and returners, do we still need to keep Webb?

Good question. Webb is disposable I think now.

Nice picture by the way too @Jeremy Igo

I wanted Taco Charlton bad. Well, this guy has freak size too. I like this pick a lot. Hopefully he picks a # in the 70's

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
