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.

    • “Y’all been watching film, huh? That’s cool, watch this.”
    • Really? Wow. Sorry. Got my timeline messed up. I remember someone claiming to be Graham’s mom on the old Charlotte.com board so I guess it was a long time ago that he was here. I guess I thought he was after Kasay. 
    • Nick Scott has gotten his share of Huddle hate, but I came across this SI article by Zach Roberts when I was researching recently released Quandre Diggs, speculated to be a better option  (https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/07/breaking-titans-cut-former-three-time-pro-bowler-quandre-diggs-4-destinations-ranked/3/), but getting back to Nick Scott... Now to be fair, the observation on Scott was before the Packers game, but the stats couldn't have changed that much, and may have gotten better.   "At some point during virtually every Carolina Panthers game, you have probably found yourself grumbling about Nick Scott. The much-maligned safety has seemingly been out of position a lot or has failed to make a play. The eye test has often let him down. "But that's why stats are so helpful. Sometimes, the eye test, especially for fans, is unreliable. On occasion, advanced metrics help make sense of things and lend more clarity. In the case of Scott, they make him look like a much better safety than any of us would've guessed. "In coverage, Scott has given up just 15 yards and an average of five yards per catch. That's the lowest among safeties, leading superstars like Julian Love, Talanoa Hafunga, Quandre Diggs, Kerby Joseph, Kyle Hamilton, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. "In FI%, the safety leads all his counterparts once again at 40%. Brian Branch, Camren Kinchens, and Xavier McKinney are some notable names he leads. He's been pretty excellent in pass coverage, which is crucial for the Panthers." For those wondering, "FI" means forced incompletions. Now I'm way past trying to figure out why X links aren't embedding for me like they used to, but here you go: https://x.com/dacornerman/status/1981363757608513632?t=rx_5iLjp8_y5huNcg_y1nA&s=19   Suffice it to say that Scott may not be as bad as some have led on.    https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/much-maligned-panthers-db-way-better-than-think
