QB Combine Thread

[CarolinaCatBrigade]

I'm surprised Newton lovers haven't used the argument: "He wears underarmour, we should draft him!"

[The Saltman]

I just thought his 5 and 7 step drops were way too slow. The combine doesn't make or break a person but high potential or not the guy needs a lot of work to become a pro in the NFL. I hope he is a quick learner. I really like his potential but I just think the timing and the needs of this team doesn't warrant him as the first pick in the draft. I'm rooting for him tho.

[The Saltman]

Needs meaning a qb or player that can help us win now not in 4 yrs. If he was in a steve mcnair type of situation where he can sit and wait 2 yrs I feel he could be great. Its just bad timing for us.

So is everyone coming to the conclusion that his accuracy and footwork still need improvement?

Where did I hear this before?

You toot your own horn more that king t calls skew a racist.

You heard it from nearly everyone who managed to get ahold of decent film of him and actually watched his passing game instead of watching him make plays.

...and yes. You were right. You'll be wrong one of these days though!

PS: Are you still liking Locker? Haven't got a chance to see any combine footage of him but I heard he did better than his Senior Bowl week. Also, crazies, I'm not saying Locker at #1. :P

When you get attacked the way I do for factual observations, expect horn tooting to follow.

I've been wrong...I thought we were going 10-6 :( but I'd say my player evaluations are better than my team predictions. I also didn't factor in the injuries. Meh.

I still like Locker. He is every bit the athlete that Cam is and is a more polished passer. I still think he could end up the best QB from this class but it'll take the right situation. I still have it Gabbert, Locker, then Cam/Mallet as still a 3/4 near tie.

Still don't want any of them though. My hope is Moore/Palmer/Colin K :)

This is what happens when I make a post.

My post = Right Uppercut

["Ass" Dan]

I'm not at all convinced Jake Locker will make it in the NFL, but something tells me he's the kind of player that would impress our scouts more than most of the other guys in a mental aspect just by the sheer response of all the criticism he's taken. He's taken it in stride for the most part.

I'd rather have a QB that can play ball though

[Jaxel]

I think it's obvious to any non-cam butthumper that Gabbert is a better QB.

I guess the anti Cam people are right. It's better to go with Jimmy Clausen, who has a great understanding of an NFL offense, but who is scared out on the field, than to go with an elite talent who needs to clean up his footwork. Whatever.

You do know that those aren't the only options right?

Oh yeah, there is always Billy Volek or Mark Bulger.

BTW, I'm a Matt Moore fan to, but he is not the answer if you want a franchise QB. He has talent, but he folded under the pressure of being "the guy".
