Man I really want AJ Green. I know we don't have anyone to throw to him, but I want him real bad.

Todd McShay on Blaine Gabbert:"Don't underestimate how talented he is. He's more accurate than Cam Newton."

Bullsh*t. Go kill yourself McShay.

Bullsh*t. Go kill yourself McShay.

Seems to be a fairly common opinion.

Todd McShay on Blaine Gabbert:"Don't underestimate how talented he is. He's more accurate than Cam Newton."

Gabbert is more accurate when he has the ability to be comfortable and throw. The problem for me is his pocket presence. He loses his mind when he thinks feels pressure. That worries me bc that was what happened with David Carr. When Carr felt comfortable he was very good unfortunately, in the NFL you rarely feel comfortable.

Cam will experience that as well but he has the athletic ability to compensate for some of that and even occasionally make big plays when that happens until he gets more comfortable in the pocket.

If Gabbert can't get over that he will be ineffective. But if he does develop agood pocket presence he can be a star.

My wife can't get over the fact that the under armour gear seems to frame these guy's package. She is ruining the combine for me. :D :D

Todd McShay on Blaine Gabbert:"Don't underestimate how talented he is. He's more accurate than Cam Newton."

My question is HOW DO WE KNOW THIS. He will not throw at the Combine so no one will get to see him under pressure. I would not be so down on him if he was not hiding something.

Accturlly David Carr was good under pressure coming out of College. He was just used as a punching bag for 3 years. Getting hit that many times by a guy that weighs 250+ will make anyone gun shy.

Still if Gabbert cant handle throwing pressure at the combine then how is he going to come game day?

damn virgil green is a workout warrior @ TE. the 40 time was good/great for a te, but all i want to know is the 10 and 20 yard splits. guys broad jump and vert were incredable. i am much more intrested in the off the line burst guys have than the top end speed. fair production out of that wacky offense in nevada

a late round flier is jordan cameron. usc te that was a former basket ball player. just saying...... why not in the 6th or 7th if you want a tall athletic te to coach up. experiance is nill but triangle numbers are great so far.

1 guy i would love to here more about is jarriel king. USCe can we get a report. sounds like this years bruce campbell from last year.

oh and marcus cannon needs to be the 1st pick of the 3rd round. he is a mammoth RG that is nimble for his size. he and otah would be a tremendous for any rb we put back there. he came in at a light 358 (played at 370) and looks the part of a mauling G. i dont think he is anything more than a solid RT if forced outside but a beast inside.

[vorbis]

i agree chbright. virgil green is looking like he can physically hold up as one of the better TE's in the league. would like to see what he's capable of in games. jordan cameron is showing some nice quicks, but he's not a classical TE size.

[pantherfan81]

Mayock called Notre Dame TE Kyle Rudolph "a carbon copy" of Rob Gronkowski. Both about 6'6/260 with 34+ inch arms.

[Leo]

Tightends I like while watching the combine

Virgil Green 6"3 3/8 249 40 time 4.64 looks amazing bumped his stock up

Jordan Cameron 6"5 1/4 254 40 time 4.59 looks solid

Robert Hostler 6"5 3/8 248 40 time 4.55 needs work but has the tools

Kyle Rudolph and Weslye Saunders did not participate

[vorbis]

julius thomas of portland state, who some huddler drew attention to a couple of weeks ago as a former basketball player and possible antonio gates protegé, looked really nice catching the ball. i'd say chud is definitely keeping his eye on him.

edit: just looked fantastic in another drill. he looks like a threat in the passing game.
