The one thing these lists tell me is that Kiper, McShay, and Mayock have one thing in common:

They don't listen to the Huddle enough.

PS: Kiper will probably have Newton at the top of his board by the time all is said and done, especially with Newton getting that gigantic endorsement deal.

Gabbert is rated above Newton because he has no character issues and if you plugged him in day 1 would initially do better than Newton. But if you were drafting based on who had the best potential down the road I suspect that Newton would have a much higher upside. And really isn't that the point when you pick a QB knowing they aren't going to play day 1. Even if you have to wait a year or two. I would rather pick a guy who will sit a year or two and then lead your team for the next decade as opposed to getting someone at a less important position who you can plug and be productive right away. I wonder if anyone in Green Bay is still unhappy that Rodgers sat the bench for 3 years and gave them little to nothing during that time.

I still don't understand where this type of logic comes from. So your saying Gabbert is just a smarter QB then Newton right? People that think this way what is your proof?

that's not what he's saying, he's saying that newton has a past with questions about his character, whether you believe them to be true or not, they are there. and gabbert would initially do better in theory due to the fact that he is a more prototypical passing QB than Newton is. he went on to say that newton had more upside though, so taking newton would make sense too

Seems you have a pretty good grasp on reading comprehension, LOL. You obviously get it. Gabbert may be better able to come in and pick things up because his spread offense relied on making reads at the line of scrimmage and keying off the defensive scheme similar to what most pro offenses require. Newton played in a hurry up offense where his primary key was whether the DE was going up field or crashing in. The reads were simple and the play changes came from the sidelines and not from the quarterback. As such Gabbert is likely to make the transition easier than Newton.

On the other hand Newton is more gifted athletically and once he gets the offense down (however long that takes) will likely have more upside than Gabbert down the road. If you want a guy ready to play this year Gabbert gives you a better chance. if you want a guy for the next 10 years and are willing to wait until he is ready, then newton is a better long term choice.

CarolinaKat understands posts like Newton understands NFL defenses :D

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
