Gabbert On The Radar?

Quarterbacks have been the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft eight of the past 10 years and there is speculation that the Carolina Panthers are seriously considering Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert in the 2011 draft. Buffalo fans should be rooting for Gabbert to wow the Panthers in the next few months. If he goes to Carolina, the Bills would have a shot at Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley or Clemson pass-rushing defensive end Da’Quan Bowers.

Just speculation. It looks like the Bills area wants defense 1st rd.

Jimmy is far uglier. Gabbert is at least passable. He would bring up the ugly ratio to semi respectable.

This should be a part of all QB's evaluations.

weren't you the guy who was saying that moore should be the starter because he looks so good and kind of got hung up on his looks?

not that there's anything wrong with that.

No, I said he needs to be brought back if we drafted Luck because the stable of Luck, Clausen, and Pike was far too ugly to be the depth chart of an NFL team. Moore did win Charlotte's sexiest man award so it would bump up the ugly meter to decent.

He doesn't have to start, just be here. I also suggested Kyle Boller as well as some others. Boller just married former Mrs. California.

Now that Luck is out of the picture it's not as pressing of a need. Also, I'm sure Pike will be gone so the only ugly left now is Clausen. We can overcome that.

In the other thread I did preface it all with no homo though so it's fair game.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
