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.

    • I'm the ultimate beleiver the Panthers going to win every game!!  Been that way since we got team.  Was Redskin fan but when Mr Richardson got team was fan for life!! Got this even befor we got team!!
    • I'm not saying he's a bust from that one game (even though I hated the pick) Kon is a backup SG that comes in and stands in the corner and occupies a defender at worst.  I agree even if Kon is the above the team probably ends up with  Kalkbrenner - starting center that needs to add strength to be most effective but has a good skill set.  McNeeley - high upside shooter with good create ability that plays relentlessly.  Kon - Another high upside shooter with less create ability and less motor.  James - high upside 3&D guy    That's not a bad draft at all considering they already had Ball and Miller who can drive and create. 
    • This is the best this kid could come up with? Yikes. At least go after the obvious limbo teams like MIA/PIT/etc.
