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.

    • How we weren't willing to roll the dice on Wilson but were on Brooks remains a mystery.

    • Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
