Everyone remembers how great Matt Ryan was his final year of college

oh

wait

I don't give a sh*t if we get him or not, just butting things in perspective. If the FO thinks he's the guy

He was a lone star on the eagles and had them at number 2 in the nation at one point

He is too smart. Most QBs over 40 don't do well. We have to pass.

haha

I think honestly once you pass a certain point, it doesn't matter at all what your score is. A 42 is impressive, but not for any football reason (for me anyway).

Also, there is VERY little of him on youtube, that is very true. Some of us have watched his games and like him, some haven't. I certainly don't like his stats, but I like his tools and what I think he can develop into. Mind you, I wouldn't take him with the first still. :P

What more does the guy have to do? At this point he has pretty much shown he's the total package. If he was coming out of a pro style offense he would be a no-brainer at the #1 slot. Then again...there were people who thought Bradford would fail too coming from essentially the exact same system. Bradford was also completely out of football for an entire season...

This!! Well put and very true. I was a Bradford hater coming out last year due to the system he ran and the injury. I thought he was very similar to Alex Smith when he came out..... best quarterback in a poor quarterback draft. If Gabbert is on the level of Bradford and Ryan, then why can't he succeed and be the best QB in this draft. Of course, I'm anti-QB with our #1 pick since we already have a wild-card at our QB position. At the same time, if he owns his pro-day and is off the charts, I may have to re-consider at that point.

Bradford threw 50 TDs in that offense. That is more than 3x the amount of TDs Gabbert had.

Gabbert has issues with pocket presence.

Also people give him extra credit over a guy like Newton because he had to make pre0snap reads. The only problem was when his first option wasn't open or if he had even a sniff of pressure he fell apart.

That is the NFL. He will ALWAYS feel pressured. He has to overcome that to become a great QB and I am not sure he will.

BUT as I have said all along. If Hurney and Rivera love him then they have to pull the trigger.

I personally would rather have Cam

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
