Private Gabbert Workout Scheduled

With regard to Gabbert...

I'll say the same thing here I've said about Newton. If the Panthers ultimately decide he's worth the number one pick, I'll hope that they're right and I'm wrong. And it won't be the first time I've had to raise that particular hope (the most recent was last April).

And again, if our quarterback situation were different, I wouldn't be against drafting a QB at all. As it stands now though, with two young guys already and our most veteran option being Matt Moore, I can't get behind the idea.

Truly, I couldn't before, but even less so now. With the lockout going on for who knows how long, we're looking at even less time to work with a new QB than we would have had. In that situation, do you really want to go with a guy who's going to have to not only learn a new offense, but also make all of the other adjustments that come with going from college to the pros?

I could for someone the caliber of Andrew Luck, but can anyone objectively say there's a QB on par with Luck in this draft? Come on :nonod:

The Panthers QB spot needs experience, not youth. No, the free agent class (whenever it comes available) isn't exactly exciting, but I still think that's the way that we have to go, even if it means trading picks or players.

I understand why the Panthers are taking a look at Gabbert for all the different reasons.. WHAT I dont understand is why some of the love of him over Cam?? For all the knocks people have of Cam, how is most of them any different with Gabbert?? Doesnt he come from a spread offense? I thought I read he took almost 100% of his snaps from shotgun. I just dont see how his skill sets are any better if not lower than Cam's. Again, I get why they have to look at him, just dont understand how he would be an any better option than Newton.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
