McShay Says Gabbert is a Possibility for Us Now, as Well as Fairley or Bowers

Fine.

Take Gabbert, and threaten to take McShay's life if he sucks.

i wouldnt mind taking Gabbert, but i dont think Richardson goes after him, BUT he's looks like the best NFL ready QB in the draft now.

I still say no to Gabbert, just for the simple fact that their is a realistic chance at getting Luck in the 2012 draft. If not Luck, Matt Barkley would be an option. Either way, we should just stick with Jimmy so we can either suck and get Luck, or Jimmy surprise us all and show some signs of being our QB of the future. I want AJ Green pretty bad on this team, but Bowers or Fairley would be a good good pick at #1. I still think it all depends on who the coach is.

i wouldnt mind either, sure we could suck, but if we have Gabbert or Newton, there's also that potential that they could suck. We cant say with fact that Newton will come in and win us 7 games, just like i cant say that Newton will only win us 3 games in his rookie year, it's likely they go defense, but i would NOT be shocked if they went for Gabbert, Newton or Green, it ALL depends on the coach. If Rob Ryan is hired, i see Newton here.

I honestly think that Fairley is better than Gerald McCoy, but I don't think he's better than Suh, and I sure as hell don't think he's worth the #1 draft pick.

Blaine Gabbert is in the same situation, in my eyes, as Cam Newton is. I wouldn't mind for us to pick up either of them, but not at the #1 spot. If we had the #10, I wouldn't mind at all, but neither of them are worth the #1.

AJ Green and Patrick Peterson are your two best bets.

Cam Newton might lose us plenty of games next year, but when he does get it all figured out he will win big for somebody.Teams will have to know that if they don't have a Lb with eyes on him he be able to run on by the big linemen and over a lot of blitzing corners. How many times have you seen Rotlesberger or whatever get hit and still stand there and make the play.Cam is quicker and stronger ,Maybe even smarter

considering all the wise off the field moves he has made recently.

The only player worth taking at 1 is AJ Green.

He's the only other blue-chip prospect in this year's class.

Anybody else is a reach.

I think people need to remove that argument from their ammo stockpile, and start deciding if we should trade down, and for what, or if we should just accept that we're going to reach for someone if we don't take Green.

perhaps but he's now the #1 rated QB it seems which... seems strange for his stats and all.

Depending on where you look Mallet, Newton and Gabbert are all rated as the number one QB. No one really knows who the teams will actually rate as the #1 now that Luck's gone.

there is no QB worth #1 overall. looking at this quarterback class, I wouldn't even take a quarterback in the first round...

if we can't trade down(which is what I'd prefer we do), then we have to get the best player available, which is Patrick Peterson/Fairley/Bowers/Green. Either of those guys would be fine, but I'm really starting to like the idea of drafting Patrick Peterson and having an elite secondary to help us against the pass-happy teams in our division.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
