Gabbert has 21 TDs total this season (5 rushing, most in short yardage situations at the goal line)... not that impressive, but not terrible. He came into the season needing to work on accuracy and he did.

Footwork a bit of a concern but he has good accuracy and armstrength. Needs to learn to step up in the pocket to buy himself a second to make the throw instead of always rolling to one side or another. Still, extends plays which is always nice.

Works in a spread offense that generally only reads half the field so that is a concern

By all accounts is a smart kid who works hard.

Has a chance to really light it up at the combine.

NFL scouts said that Gabbert goes through his progressions well.. not the typical spread offense.

he has multiple reads on that side of the field and he does work through them is what I had heard and how it seemed based on watching him play.

It is good to know NFL scouts aren't concerned with that.

The things that are the most attractive about Gabbert are his measurables, but he also has intangibles. The right team and he'll go far I think. He's raw and will need some good QB coaching.

I don't think we're going to end up drafting him barring some major happenings, but I think he could do well.

I am one that thinks a great Quarterback can makes an average receiver look good, and a good receiver look great. That said, I do feel that a team should take a franchise QB if one is available and that team does not currently have one. I think we fall into that category, so we need to decide whether or not Gabbert is a franchise QB.

The QB position is the most important position in football. He touches the ball on every single play (almost). I am not looking forward to another season with pickles at QB.. and I believe Gabbert can be a Flacco/Freeman type of QB.

It's hard to go from Luck to Gabbert.. but it's unrealistic to believe we will get a shot at Luck again next season. We have to take what is given to us.

There will be other quarterbacks who come out next year that may be in Gabbert's class, though, so we don't necessarily need to try to address QB right now, even though I honestly think it is our #1 area of need. Without a 2nd we're in a bit of a bind as far as picks go, too.

We're going to be bringing in a veteran to give Clausen some serious competition too, and even if we did draft Gabbert or any other QB this year there is a very real possibility Clausen would start over them.

There is no way we give Clausen just one year in a bad system. Clausen was one of the top recruits coming out of high school. He has a lot of potential that I think justifies another year with a new coaching staff. We will add some play makers offensively and have a healthy line which will make a world of a difference.

I think we will also add a veteran QB, think along of the lines of a Shaun Hill.

I had thought the Lions wanted Hill back, but I may be wrong.

Volek seems very likely with all the Chargers connections here.

Drafting a QB does not mean Clausen won't have a shot, especially if it's BPA.. at this point though you don't really plan much around Clausen, just go into next year hoping he really shows huge improvement.. also, to get Gabbert, Gabber would need to move to #1 or we'd trade back, both of which seem like they aren't definite scenarios right now.

A lot of top recruits were merely busts in college and never played NFL football.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
