NFC Scout on Gabbert

[Cavscout]

Wes Bunting from National football post on Blaine Gabbert:

Why all the Blaine Gabbert hype?...

Is limited to reading more of just one side of the field, isn’t a guy who routinely is able to scan his way across the entire field and find his secondary options. Has a tendency to drop his eye level far too quickly if there is nothing on with his initial read and will flush himself easily from the pocket backward and toward the opposite side, instead of remaining balanced and stepping up into the pocket, which really takes away from his throwing options.

Sounds like Clausen v.2 to me

Gabbert isn't the guy. Spread offense and he can only put up 16 TD's, that is pathetic. 24 the year before, again not impressive in a spread offense at all. Two games this year he had a completion rating in the 40's. The guy stunk in his bowl game.

This guy is not worth #1 and we would be reaching badly if we took him.

Blaine?

BLAINE?

He sounds like someone you'd meet on a beach in SoCal and want to immediately punch in the face...

No thanks... We don't need a QB THAT bad...

Awesome, well thought out reasons for not wanting Gabbert in this thread.

[Highlandfire]

Fans need to quit reaching for a QB to find with the #1 pick, there isn't one worth it. There isn't one offensive player worth it.

The best thing to do is TRADE DOWN!

I concur

Does this look familiar?

Notice the rollout, the collapse of the pocket, and the end result...

Except for the part about Gabbert being big, athletic and having a strong arm.

I just don't see how these scouts can come to the conclusion that he's ready to compete in the pros. He looked pretty damn average the couple of games of his that I saw.

And a good quarterback makes his receivers look better than they are, so don't feed me the "but he didn't have anyone to throw to" garbage.

Average pro QB at best... Tony Pike is better than him...

[kdrh5]

LOL at Pike being better than anybody

[Carolina Husker]

Anyone who thinks Pike is a better QB than Gabbert is a fucking retard.
