Blaine Gabbert

[TarPanther9180]

Read this article on ESPN about Denver getting 2nd pick in draft.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft2011/news/story?id=5983776

And I found this interesting:

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert are expected to be among the top five picks, according to projections by ESPN's Todd McShay, if the two juniors declare for the draft.

I have not heard anything about Gabbert. I heard Luck, Newton, or Mallet were the top QB's. Anyone have some info on him? (yes I am lazy)

[scpanther22]

I have seen him play..

He is good lots of athleticism and a big arm but also raw.IMO

[KDawg004]

:iagree: Big, athletic QB with a strong arm. But is still raw and runs out of a spread offense.

[Carolina Husker]

Gabbert is absolutely going to destroy the combine. He's got crazy arm strength, accuracy, and athletic ability. His glaring weaknesses are pocket awareness and dealing with pressure, and he won't have to deal with that during 7-on-7's. I expect him to sky rocket up draft boards during draft preparation (all of this assuming he comes out early).

If he wasn't such a pussy I'd take him before anyone not named Luck.

Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert announced Monday that he will forgo his senior season with the Tigers and enter the 2011 NFL draft.

A two-year starter as Chase Daniel's successor at Mizzou, Gabbert completed 61.2 percent of his passes and posted a combined 40:18 TD-to-INT ratio in his sophomore and junior seasons. Unlike Daniel, Gabbert is ideally built (6'5/235) and offers plenty of arm strength. Questions facing Gabbert will be his ability to adjust from a shotgun-only spread offense to a pro-style scheme, as well as suspect pocket presence and downfield accuracy. If he impresses in pre-draft workouts, Gabbert has the potential to be a top-ten overall pick.

Just watched his highlights...

Long wind-up

Jumps when he throws sometimes, others, off his back foot

rolls out of the pocket and out of bounds like Clausen

Doesn't turn it over much

Reminds me of a tall Clausen, strengths and weaknesses.

[X-Clown]

McShay already has moved him up to Top 5 status, which means just about nothing. I'd still rather have Newton in the event of Luck not declaring.

gabbert-Ryan leaf

Luck-peyton manning

(i hope)

[Cavscout]

Luck = Peyton Manning

Mallett = Ryan Leaf

Gabbert = Joe Flacco

[unicar15]

Right now Im just hoping our image getting dragged through the mud isn't discouraging Luck

[Cavscout]

Luck is very intelligent...I am sure that he would do his own research and formulate his own opinions about the Panthers

I don't know about release being an issue...there's a handful of really quick throwing motions in this low quality video with bad music:

I don't see why this kid can't be really good...but I'm not saying use the 1st overall pick of the draft on him; that's still a reach

[Ohio]

16 passing tds in the Big 12 is not good.

Gabbert was absolutely atrocious in losses to Nebraska and Texas Tech. And I mean atrocious.

Gabbert is not going to be a very good pro QB

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm not sure there's a QB in this draft that I'd spend a first round pick on, much less #1 overall.

Address other concerns this year and then do whatever it takes to land Luck next year.
