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.

I have seen no one rate Newton as #1 and not seen Mallett that high in a while.

have you seen Gabbert play more than a few games?

And where would Gabbert have been taken last year? My guess is the second round, after Clausen.

He may have been taken before him actually, and before The Golden Calf of Bristol. hard to tell for sure. He's been on the list of top QBs for most of this season on a lot of analysists boards

Ive actualy seen gabbert play about 4 times this season, idk why or how. He really does look good to me. He has a strong ass arm and makes pretty good decisions, he didnt have the best wrs and not much of a running game from what i watched and he seems clutch. That said, I dont think hes a number 1 pick just bc we need a qb. I would take bowers or peterson, fairly is nasty but hes a hold out and a few dwis and fines waiting to happen, not something we want to deal with, think kris jenkins times ten as a rookie. and all this black qb bullshit... uh JAMARCUS RUSSEL WAS A NUMBER ONE OVERALL PICK enough said, and the next time that dumbass dragon fist wtf ever his name is guy types since instead of SENSE im gonna tattoo the word on his forhead

that is all

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. 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.

i do expect him to lose plenty of games next year if he starts too soon, but i think (if groomed right) he can be great, but if he starts for us next year, i could see us at 3 and 13 or at best winning 5 games and possibly fighting for the number one spot again

Well, many people on this message board thinks he's number one in this draft, As for Gabbert, i havent seen him play much honestly and that's my issue with him. I think Mallett reminds me of a slower Jay Cutler, personally, i like Locker the best, but no one will agree with me there.

I see a lot of the debate is whether whoever we pick is worth taking as a #1 overall pick. As I mentioned in other threads, there is no consensus match for us at #1 like there has been for the teams who have picked for, say the last 3-5 years.

Our position of need (QB) doesn't have a guy worth taking with that pick, which sucks, so to me the most logical thing to do is trade down regardless. Either take a QB lower or another guy - as I suggested Green, Fairley, Peterson, etc., and pick up some picks as we do so, getting that 2nd rounder back would be huge. Problem with this is, I'm not sure anyone else feels there's a overwhelming talent that would make them want to move to #1 as well, so we may be stuck with it.

I really think Locker is gonna be a 2nd rounder, with a very slim outside chance of getting into the late 1st round, but that's who I would target with the 2nd pick.

      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
