Combine QBs: Newton, Mallet & Locker Throwing, Gabbert not

Recommended Posts

Jim Corbett of USA Today reports that Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert is expected to take a pass on all throwing drills at the NFL Scouting Combine later this week.

Gabbert’s competition to be the first signal caller drafted, Cam Newton of Auburn, will be making a game-time decision.

PFT has confirmed that Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick will participate in full. Washington’s Jake Locker will join him. Christian Ponder of Florida State said in January that he doesn’t plan to throw.

Ryan Mallett of Arkansas presumably will throw, but he’s got bigger things to worry about.

Things could change but this is how it's going so far.

UPDATE: Cam will fully participate in all workouts.

NFL Network now reporting Cam Newton will "fully participate" in 2011 NFL Scouting Combine. Wants to be "transparent."

Auburn QB Cam Newton said tonight at Davey O'Brien Award ceremony that he will be a full participant at this week's combine. Good move. - Schefter Tweet

This move might cost Gabbert a chance at being the 1st pick. He needs too show off his arm. Good move by Cam showing his willingness too improve and do what the teams want too see.

I prefer Cam anyway... but that being said. When having to chose between two players of somewhat equal value, and one was willing to compete and put himself out there vs a guy who choses to play it safe and sit out.......... I take the guy who chose to go out there any day of the week.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
