Missouri Fans perspective on Gabbert

Here are a few comments I found about Gabbert:

I loved getting the top QB in the nation, but I never really felt he was a fit. He's more pro-style and we run a spread. As soon as he gets re-acclimated to taking snaps under center, his size and arm will wow NFL execs and he will shoot up everyone's board.

I think its a good choice,Blaine is a pocket pass in a spread offense, not a good fit at Mizzou! He would regress w/another year under Yost!

Blaine Gabbert could use one more year in college to improve his decision making under pressure. He could use some more work on the long game.

If the projections on his draft status are accurate, I don't blame him from entering the draft. I just don't think he is quite ready.

Good luck to Missouri. - Iowa fan

This pro style v. spread offense in terms of a QB is nonsense. Regardless of the system you have to make reads, get through your progressions, and deliver an accurate pass. Rather than looking to the sidelines you have the OC telling you the play inside of your helmet. He's got the size, arm strength, and leadership ability that great QBs possess.

So there are some mixed reviews. Some of the fans that have watched him a lot think that he could use another year. But the majority of what I read was that he wasn't a fit in their offense. They think that he will go to another level if he gets into a pro offense where he has play-action options. His arm strength is apparently blue chip and worthy of a first round pick. IMO this guy needs to be the pick if he comes out and does well in the combine and the interview. IMO you don't pass up a guy that is a leader at QB when he is 6'5'' 240lbs and can move. The only thing that would downgrade him from the #1 pick in my eyes is if the GMs don't think he is capable of coming in and running a team because other than that IMO he has as much upside as any QB in recent memory.

Im a Missourian, I like the kid. Great size with a huge arm. His mobility is underrated as well. He can rush some throws and make some stupid mistakes under pressure at times, but a solid QB nonetheless.

I think everyone's expectations are high for the #1 pick since the Luck debacle. Forget luck exists and I think he would be considered a legit #1 candidate. Right or wrong.

I think a lot of people are underestimating him. I see him as another Big Ben. I know he was in a spread offense and all this other mess, but I really see him being a big time qb in the nfl. I do think Luck has made him look worse though

Hopefully our brass doesn't see it that way because you only have limited chances to take a kid that scouts rate as a legitimate top 5 player at QB. Outside of Luck, next year's QB class does not look promising. Matt Barkley will be in the draft (most likely) and I guess he could be a good QB but essentially looks like the second coming of Jimmy Clausen IMO. So its either Luck or bust in 2012. That is one reason I am hoping we don't pass up a chance to draft Gabbert this year. Sure...you won't get a chance to draft "the next Peyton Manning" next year but you could get a chance to draft "the next Ben Roethlisberger" if you draft Gabbert which I would take in a heartbeat.

Yeah, if you look back when Matt Ryan was drafted he was in a class of "mediocre" qb's and didnt always get the best of the best scouting report. His big thing when he was coming out was he was a leader and needed to be taken for his leadership abilities. I see that with Gabbert and hope we dont pass

Best QB in the draft=/= Worthy of first overall pick.

Pass.

Heard something the other day about Freeman on espn talking about when he came out and the Bucs took him. Their GM said if they would have had the #1 pick they would have took him there. Basically saying if he's the guy then he's the guy no matter where you take him at

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
