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.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
