Blaine Gabbert sounds like a quirky nfl name that can work. Cam newton has a better feel to it but it may be too normal and fall short. Gabbert is such a crazy soundiing name it might work.

Ha. Isn't it weird when you start saying the names that will either be synonomous with great QBs (Unitas, Montana, Manning, Brady) or with the great busts of all time (Jamarcus, Leaf, Akili).

Greatest QB Names of all time:

Joe Montana (Kinda like Indiana Jones of football)

Bart Starr (What a great name for the QB that won the 1st 2 super bowls)

Boomer Esiason (Not great, but love the name)

Johnny Unitas (sounds like an airline--unite us)

like i've said before, if we draft him, i will not be completely disappointed based on pun potential alone.

while I probably count as a Gabbert nuthugger despite not wanting to draft him #1 (since I like him more than Cam Newton), I was impressed with what I've seen of his footwork.

I do not think he will have trouble making the jump to NFL reads either. It is possible he is a bit less of a project than I thought, but I'd still rather go D, even though the idea of drafting offense is "exciting."

I agree. Trade down three or four spots if you can. If Gabbert is there, take him. If not, Peterson, Dareus, Fairley, etc would be a pretty good consolation prize if we get a second rounder.

I do not see Hurney taking a huge risk on Cam. I would not put my career on the line for CN.

Gabbert is safe. He has more DI experience, he is very smart, and he can do anything Cam can do. No baggage. I say we will take him #1.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
