Gabbart and Mallet clearly the top two QB's

Wow, the way the ball comes out of Mallets hands and his accuracy on the deep ball is outstanding. An NFL scout said his accuracy has really improved. Sharpe and mayock are saying 'perfect throws' on his drills.

If Gabbart's pro day looks good throwing wise I am thinking its a toss up right now. If this kid can get clear attitude wise with the GM's/Coaches in the meetings it is gonna be a tough decision.

I think Locker helped himself to day and I am really liking Kaepernick.

I really want to trade down for more picks, but these guys are going to make it hard to not take one of them at #1 esp if Gabbarts pro day goes well and the way Mallett is throwing

Mallet- All the tools in the world, but by all accounts is a ticking time bomb.

Gabbert- Average college QB that is for some unknown reason being way over hyped.

Locker- Had a good junior season, but proved is was all a fluke this year. One workout in shorts isn't going to override all the horrible tape he put out this last year.

Newton- Has every measurable you could hope for. Had a great year at Auburn, his only year, but played in a very basic spread offense. Only questions are if he can transition to the NFL and some stolen goods 3 years ago.

If the coaching staff thinks they can work with Cam, he's got to be the pick.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
