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.

    • We have taken two TEs in three seasons I think, and Sanders may not pan out or it may have been a sophomore slump, but we took a guy last year that was coming on.  I am not in favor of TE in round one and really don’t consider it a high priority in any round. 
    • Trevon Moehrig, Turk Wharton, Bobby Brown, Jaelen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Nic Scourton Giving him 6 starters in 2 offseasons that cost boat loads of money or a 2nd round pick... Not exactly handing the man scraps. The point of the draft is to make the team better. You want to make this about Bryce. It isn't. It's about improving the team. And if anyone can look at our offense and go "we're good", they are lying to themselves. You give quarterbacks weapons. We SCREAMED for YEARS to give Cam some help. But now because we are trying to do it for Bryce, you all are saying we are coddling him because of his "deficiencies". It's a double-standard because you don't like the guy, clearly. But even if he does fail, guess what? The next guy has help too. Win-win.
    • we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once
