Blaine Gabbert's arm strength just ordinary?

http://rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6451/blaine-gabbert

Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer has heard that Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert's arm strength is "ordinary," and there is concern in the league that he was just "not all that productive" in college.

Gabbert's 16:9 touchdown-to-interception ratio is one of the least impressive among this year's signal callers, and his yards-per-attempt average of 6.71 as a junior also ranks dead last in the class. "Bottom line on Blaine Gabbert," wrote Gantt on Twitter late Wednesday, "(I) haven't had one scout, coach, or personnel type I know tell me, 'Love him. Will be a star.'" Mar 17, 9:49 AM

I don't either. Really just don't get it. I could at least understand if he had played in a pro offense or something, but for a guy who has the same transition as Newton to make, I just don't see why he's rated higher by so many.

Cam put up FAR superior stats, won more, won a championship, and has a FAR superior physical skillset.

I don't understand how he gets so much hype to be honest.

Me neither. From what I heard he was totally inconsistent running a spread offense and he didnt improve that much in the past few years. King Taqahara or whatever might have a point on this one, if he was black he would be a 2nd rounder. haha

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
